Increasingly this is requiring us to prepare them for a world that is changing rapidly, particularly in the area of Information and Communication Technologies. The world is a vastly different place to when we were educated!

The Kio Kio Staff is currently undergoing a three year Professional Development Contract with the Ministry of Education to upskill our delivery of the New Zealand Curriculum using ICTs. These days children are very ‘savvy’ with technologies and it is up to us to ensure that they are safe and capable in their use of these technologies. As a result the school Board of Trustees has identified the need to have not only up to date technology in the school but enough of it to ensure that all children can readily access it.

Technology does not come cheaply and we are not allowed to use our property income from the MoE to fund things such as digital cameras, wireless laptop computers and data projectors. As a result we are forming a ‘taskforce’ to raise the money to equip our children with these resources. This taskforce will be formed early in term three and will work to a brief set by the BOT over a limited timeframe. The key part of the brief will be raising upwards of $50,000! (//This taskforce will be a separate group to our Supporters’ Committee who will continue their great work organising our traditional fundraisers and activities//.)

We are asking for **__your__** help, whether it is contributing to our ICT fund or volunteering your time and expertise to be a part of the taskforce.

If you would like to contribute or join the taskforce please let our principal, Joel Webby, know by contacting the school.

Teaching our children to read and write, do maths and be well rounded individuals is still our goal but the parameters are changing and ICT technologies must be embraced to enhance their delivery.
