Computing at Modbury High

"Computing at MHS incorporates a divers range of skills that provides a valuable set of "tools" to equip students for Post Secondary School Studies or the workforce. As students progress through years 8 to 12 they will learn skills that include: Wordprocessing, Spreadsheets, Databases, Webpage authoring, Graphic design, Powerpoint Presentations, and engage in the use of other computing devices such as scanners, digital still cameras, digital video cameras, & the list goes on.

Throughout all computing courses we encourage students to achieve the requirements of Vet certificates courses covered in I.T. Certificates 1 & 2.

 Although computing is taught as a standalone subject in years 9 to 12, we strive to give students the opportunity to integrate technology use in all areas of their study across the curriculum."
