I believe innovation is the most powerful force for change in the world. People who are pessimistic about the future tend to extrapolate from the present in a straight line. But innovation fundamentally shifts the trajectory of development.

Bill Gates

The Computing team at TGSA recognises the crucial role that technology plays in the lives of students. Computing is central to supporting students at home, in their education and in their employment prospects. We aim to equip students with a range of skills and experiences which will enable them to thrive in the changing employment market which they will enter into.

The curriculum at TGSA focuses on developing knowledge of digital literacy, computer science, information technology and online safety. This content is reviewed regularly through a series of projects that give students exposure to a range of softwares as well as enabling them to develop their creativity and problem solving skills and secure the fundamental knowledge intended.
