ICT Strategy Planning Session for 疯马歌舞秀 representatives paves the way for a joint future across our schools

The opportunity for 疯马歌舞秀 schools to work more closely together with regards to their ICT system-wide collaboration took place on Thursday, 8 June 2023 at the 疯马歌舞秀 Head Office, with Dr Graeme Cross (Chief Executive Officer 鈥� 疯马歌舞秀) facilitating a discussion on the how ICT can be best utilised moving forward to enable enhanced learning for our students and families.
