Geelong Grammar School An essential part of your education is becoming proficient and independent users of technology.
By the time you leave Middle School it is important that you have mastered a wide range of ICT based skills that will enable you to complete your senior years of education and beyond.
You are required during your time at Middle School to ensure that you complete this Passport. Your House Tutor will be discussing your progress with you and helping you to identify opportunities to demonstrate, learn and practice different skills.
However, the successful completion of this Passport is your responsibility, there is no due date, and if you feel like you already know how to do any of the skills listed in the booklet, then you can request to have them signed off immediately by any teacher or your tutor.
