Principals learn about web sites

 

Seventeen Central Coast school principals attended a Connect IT Website Development Day held at the Technology Futures Centre on May 28.

The Centre, located at the Woy Woy campus of Brisbane Waters Secondary College, proved to be an ideal venue with its new computer equipment and networked configuration.

The purpose of the day was to standardise what schools are saying about themselves on their websites so that anyone enquiring about a school would be able to compare information easily as well as to be able to understand the information provided.

The principals built their own websites using a template provided by Edgar Adams of Central Coast Business Review.

The final outcome forms the Central Coast Education Directory and links through a program called Central Coast EduBase.

Information available on each school includes a school profile, teaching and learning programs, student support programs and extra-curricular activities.

Website training was provided by Alan Williams, image composition was explained by Wayne Matsen and overall assistance and support was provided by David Abrahams.

Peninsula Schools involved on the day were Woy Woy and Ettalong Public Schools and Brisbane Water Secondary College.
