School+Culture





Dimboola Memorial Secondary College is a small rural secondary college of approximately 200 students situated half an hour west of Horsham. The College has experienced over the last 4 years a significant cultural change in its approach to the teaching with and of ICT to students, staff and the wider community. Through Leading Schools Funding and the leadership of Gary Schultz (DMSC ICT Coordinator and Victorian Education Awards Outstanding Secondary Teacher of the Year 2008) the College has implemented the use of Interactive Whiteboards throughout every room in the College. Staff now use their laptops each day as they deliver an ICT rich curriculum. ICT is now embedded in the College’s planning, its professional development, the College’s Performance Accreditation process and including Peer Coaching and Expert Groups.
