Internet use at School: Taipa Area School has a fully operational computer network where students can access locally developed resources as well as the world wide web. The school network is password protected. School access to the internet is filtered through "School Zone" Our aim with both the school network and the internet service at school is to support learning and teaching. As a consequence of experience, we do not provide access to e-mail for students at school. However, international students and some students in leadership positions may be an exception to this. In 2006 Taipa Area School became involved in developing it's ability to be involved in video conferencing. Initially this has included other schools in our region (Far North) |
