In the Primary Section of SSIS, pupils attend ICT lessons, taught by specialist teachers, once a week. They learn to use various equipment and software, navigate the Internet and practice touch-typing. One highlight is the use of Think.com- a global online learning community where students can publish their own websites and communicate and collaborate with peers from over 40 countries.

1) To help learners become competent, confident, responsible and critical users of ICT by making efficient, effective and creative use of basic software and hardware in their everyday lives;
2) To encourage learners to develop the appropriate personal skills essential for independent lifelong learning through ICT.
