Our large, modern, fully equipped computer suite houses thirty state of the art computers dedicated for students' use. This room easily facilitates a full class. All computers are networked and server based allowing students to access their work from any computer within the school. The computers run Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Office 2007, a variety of other required subject specific software packages and each has broadband internet access. 

Each student is provided with a unique username and password and an allocated server space for file storage.
