Aparima College has enjoyed supplementing it's curriculum through the wide range of educational courses available online. It has been shown that the success rate of students participating in interactive, online courses is much higher than your average correspondence course. Recognising this Aparima College has been an active participant in the Southland Interactive Learning Community (SILC); supplying teachers of various online subjects and having students participate in this distance education. Being a contributing member of this network of online schools means that we are also privileged to be part of a national virtual network of schools, being able to choose from a wide range of courses offered throughout New Zealand. The SILC network utilises cutting edge Flash technology coupled with audio conferencing to create a flexible and interactive learning environment for our students which can be accessed from anywhere with internet access. |
