Our Vision is

A strong inclusive and cohesive community of engaged and empowered citizens who are able to realize their potential and thus support both individual and community wellbeing. Embedding ICT in the community in a way that doesn't simply enable people to respond to prevailing conditions but enables them to drive growth both locally, and as a contributor to national prosperity (not just financially but in terms of resourceful, creative and innovative talent).

 

Our Philosophy

• We set our own goals.*
• There is no universal method – anything that works is right.*
• We learn best at our own pace and in our own learning style.*
• We strive to be independant and have the freedom to make
   our own decisions about our learning, goals and methods.*
• Learning is fun when building relationships and achieving
   something.
• We build relationships to share our own knowledge, explore
   ideas and to ask each other for help.
• Everyone is a learner and a teacher.
• We learn by trial and error.
