3 year 11 students from Island School, Claudia Lo , Tommy San and Lauren Engel took part and won the first learning without frontiers competition on April 24th . This competition involved 13 teams from across Hong Kong and aims to challenge students to show just what they can do with their ICT skills. The Island School team won thanks to their strong understanding of exactly what the client, in this case the Rainbow Foundation needed. They were able to show a broad range of skills based on a common theme and more so than any of the other teams they were able to construct a complete concept for the Rainbow foundation. Winning was quite an achievement from the team as they were competing against mostly teams of 5 or 6 students. What they did show, was that students are capable of producing near professional quality outcomes when given the freedom to explore ideas themselves and this fits well with the aims and objectives of our KS4 ICT course the IEAward in Applied ICT.
The current crop of Year 10 students are about to start thinking about their projects for next year and if there is anyone out there who has a need for some talented ICT students please let us know and as are encouraging all our students to work on real projects for real clients.
