Technology

An age-appropriate start with computer parts, file organisation, simple documents and safe online choices.

Create simple documents and presentations, build block-code sequences, search thoughtfully and practise respectful digital citizenship.

Learn to think like a coder and a data detective: write step-by-step algorithms, use loops and events in block code, build a simple spreadsheet, and judge whether online information can be trusted.

Decomposition, patterns, block-code decisions, conceptual networking and practical privacy for Grade 7.

Move from blocks to first text scripts while learning flowcharts, binary representation and the hardware-software boundary.

Move from blocks to real typed code. Write Python that stores data in variables, makes decisions, repeats work with loops, organises code into functions and lists, and learn what actually happens when you open a web page.

University foundations in programming, discrete structures, computer organisation and data structures.

Algorithms, databases, operating systems and software engineering at second-year depth.

Theory of computation, introductory machine learning, computer networks and distributed systems.

A rigorous Grade 12 Computer Science capstone built around Java-oriented design, algorithms, data structures, transactions, quality evidence and responsible systems. It is generic technical enrichment, not a claim of prescribed CAPS or IEB Information Technology alignment.

A Java-oriented Grade 11 Information Technology pathway for an IEB-school context. Build object-oriented programs, reason about collections and files, trace algorithms, model data and make defensible network and security decisions.
