Collarenebri Central School encourages parents and other community members to come in to the school to continue their learning.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Information Technology covers the basic setting up and use of computer hardware and a range of application software packages selected from word processing, spreadsheets, databases and presentation graphics as well as multimedia software packages. Students will also develop skills needed to operate successfully in the workplace.
This subject is for students:
· who may want to learn the basics for home computer use,
· who have a basic knowledge of computers and want to learn more about different applications for home including multimedia software
· who wish to improve their skills to enter various areas of the information technology industry, office and secretarial occupations or home business.
Computers will also be available to community members who need to access information or complete online training such as the Driver Knowledge Test practice site, Centrelink site access etc.
Next year the school is proposing starting a computer class for those community members who wish to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform office duties such as secretary or receptionist.
