			''ICT Initiatives in Niue Primary School''

			Young primary school level children are also introduced to the computers at the Year 4 level. The program at Niue Primary is integrated into the Technology Program.

			Niue Primary School has the following equipment:
			*1 digital camera
			*1 colour photocopier
			*1 black and white photocopier
			*1 computer for office use
			*Computers for students’ use
			*Internet connection for the office computer

			''ICT Initiatives in Niue High School''

			ICT initiatives in Niue High School has been going on for a very long period. Niue High School has many student computers for ICT classes and all computers have CD burners and have access to the internet. They own digital cameras, 1 video camera, 2 video recorders, 1 DVD player, 1 TV screen, Teacher's personal laptops, 2 stereos, 1 scanner, 1 fax machine, 1 external modem, internal modems for all computers that have internet access, pen drives/flash discs, CDs and DVDs for students information, Zip drives and external hard drives, two black and white photocopiers.

			Both teachers and students have access to the Internet, as a result of special effort at the beginning of 2004 to improve Internet access for students and teachers. There are only two schools in Niue and both are offering some form of ICT courses to the students. The course outlines used closely follow the New Zealand Technology curriculum document. All other subject areas require the use of the computer with Internet connection in order to access information available through the net from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. This includes access to Unit Standards and Achievement Standards as well as assessment exemplars for students’ assessment activities.

			Information Technology is offered as a half-year course to students of Years 7, 8 and 9 (Forms 1, 2 and 3). The students are introduced to the basic ways of using the computer but the emphasis is on keyboard skills. At the Year 10 (Form 4) level, students may opt to continue to take IT or choose to take up other subjects. Over the years it has always been a problem meeting the high demand from students who wish to continue taking the subject. Students in years 7, 8 and 9 are allocated two hours of IT per week for two terms. Each term is about 9 or 10 weeks.

			Supporting services for the maintenance of computers are always provided by the computer experts from the main office of the Department of Administrative Services. The Niue High School IT teacher assists in maintaining the equipment, but major faults are dealt with by personnel from the Administrative Services, so that the IT teacher is not
			interrupted in his teaching.
