COMPUTER STUDIES AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY

We are all aware of the evolving and increasingly central role that technology plays in our lives at

school, at work and at home. With this in mind, the Technological Education Department at Havergal

College is committed to teaching students the skills they need to both harness the power of technology

today and to anticipate the fast-paced changes they will face tomorrow.

The Technological Education Department offers courses that introduce students to a broad range

of technological skills. Students can take courses in Communications Technology where they learn

the fundamentals of web design, video and multimedia production, animation and graphic design.

Emphasis is placed on becoming proficient in all stages of production: meeting with a client, planning,

designing, creating drafts and proofs and revising and distributing the final product.

As well, students can choose to study the language of technology by taking our Computer Science

courses where computer programming is the focus. Students learn logical problem-solving skills by

using common programming structures such as loops, conditional statements and arrays. Or, at the

more advanced level, students learn object oriented programming in Java.
