ICT - Department

The Arch Bishop Flynn Secondary School ICT Department was a joint project between the school and UNDP with support from the People of Japan and AFSS, it was established in a classroom in the year 2014 for empowering youth through practical skills training. It was a computer class where students would come for computer lessons.

Today, the ICT Department is one of the most enriching places in the school where students come to access the ICT resources it provides; mostly the Internet for online research, ICT lessons, and secretarial services. The facilities remain accessible to students at all times. There is a Wi-Fi hotspot for staff and vistos.

All students have the same privilege to use the facility as long lesson conductions are not in progress.
