PRCS ICT Department Vision

We believe that an ICT-enriched environment supports Crestians in deeper learning and will nurture their joy of learning.

Through an ICT-enriched environment, Crestians have multiple opportunities to interact and collaborate with classmates, teachers, and others within and beyond the classroom. Crestians can expand their horizons through experiential learning, blended learning and learning in the online environment.

We believe Crestians can achieve, through effective instruction empowered by technology, by inviting them to learn in both the physical world of the classroom as well as in the digital world beyond the classroom.

We are committed to support ICT-enabled instruction, to allow students to engage in rich learning tasks and to depend on teachers and themselves to drive the learning environment.

PRCS ICT Student Enrichment Programmes

Students in PRCS go through a series of ICT Student Enrichment Programs (iSEP) at different levels to help prepare them for learning inside and outside of the digital classroom as well as the digital workplace of the future.

Secondary 1 iSEP

Students are inducted into the  use of various ICT platforms and programs that are utilized in various aspects of the schools curriculum.

This is to prepare students for learning inside and outside of the digital classroom and during Crestian Learning Day (Home Based Learning) which takes place throughout their time in Secondary school. The program also helps to familiarize students with the various ICT portals that are used.

Students are also educated in matters of cyberwellness such as having an appropriate amount of screen time/device usage and learning how to make use of the data they obtain through different online platforms.

Platforms & Apps:

• Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Sites... etc.)

• Microsoft OneDrive & OneNote

• Student Learning Space (SLS)

• ClassPoint

Secondary 2 iSEP

The Secondary 2 iSEP lesson aims to equip students with the skills required to produce a self-directed and self-produced video to support the school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) - Effective Communicator.

Students participate in an online self-paced and self-directed learning module on:

• Video Editing and Effects using CapCut.

• Storyboarding.

• Considerations of the how and why while filming a video.

Secondary 3 iSEP

In Secondary 3, students are taught how to prepare and present an online Digital Portfolio where they can capture their personal statements, achievements and contributions. This prepares them for their application to post-secondary pathways such as the Early Admissions Exercise (EAE) and Direct School Admission (DSA).

This collaboration between the schools CCE and EdTech Committees will:

• Teach students the required technical skills and knowledge on how to use Google Sites effectively.

• How an online Digital Portfolio looks like and what information should be provided.

• How to write and complete their personal statement.

Student Learning Platforms

We leverage on a variety of learning platforms to enable students learning both in and outside of the classroom. Below are some platforms that students will make use of during their time in PRCS.
