Multimedia editing apps will be used pervasively in Lower Secondary Computer Education Programme (LSCEP) to develop core ICT skills e.g. digital drawing and design, webpage design, animation. The apps will be installed in students’ personal learning devices at no extra cost to parents as we will be using a site license purchased by the school.

Teams is an all-encompassing tool for students to consolidate learning resources, communicate with teachers and collaborate with peers. It helps students with homework management too. It empowers students to have better self-management and collaboration with peers.
OneNote Class Notebook will be used by various subject teachers to disseminate lesson materials to students. It serves as a powerful tool for students to create and curate their own learning notes.
On top of this, students are also provided with school-managed Apple ID which comes with 200GB of iCloud storage.
