“IT is an ever-present, ever-evolving entity. It touches nearly all aspects of our lives: the way we work, learn, communicate, socialise and entertain ourselves. Where would we be without it? From computer graphics and control systems, to communications and problem solving, IT has an ever-increasing role to play. These days, success in any occupational field, be it law, medicine, business, education, entertainment or finance, requires a command of IT.”

“The reason I chose ICT was because the subject interested me and I love computers. I find databases interesting because of how many different types of data there are, with so many ways to process them for multiple uses. In one of our lessons we built a robot and trying to make it function was rewarding as it was a challenge and we were able to succeed.”
