Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an indispensable part of our modern world,
permeating every aspect of our lives, including education. At HFC, we recognize the critical role ICT plays in
preparing our students for success in the 21st century.
ICT encompasses the use of digital technologies to access, create, and share information. Therefore, in today’s
interconnected world, a strong foundation in ICT is essential for personal and professional growth. To cultivate
these essential skills, ICT is seamlessly integrated into the HFC curriculum.
Recognizing the importance of hands-on learning, the school boasts a well-equipped computer lab, established in
2002. With the invaluable support of the PTA, the lab has grown significantly, expanding from its initial 20
computers to a current capacity of 42.
This modern learning environment provides students with ample opportunities to develop their digital literacy,
explore new technologies, and cultivate the essential skills needed to thrive in the digital age.
