Year 12 student
I've always loved using and playing with the computer, and the ICT course allowed me to extend my range of software skills, such as creating websites, e-products and Flash products. ICT is such an essential part of the modern workplace and by taking this course I feel that I have made myself more employable in the future, as well as more likely to be accepted to my chosen University.
The Computing Department teaches using the programming language Python and the links below will be useful for anyone hoping to study Computer Science who may not have much programming experience or who for those hoping to develop their skills:
