Ogier supports GTPS with computers

Students at George Town Primary School (GTPS) recently received a complete set of computers for the school’s computer lab, compliments of Ogier. The computers, which were installed at the end of March, are an upgrade from the previous models and support the Ministry of Education’s information technology strategy which calls for the integration of computers and related technology into the classroom environment.

“Ogier is supportive of the focus placed on information and communications technology in the national curriculum, and are pleased to have been able to assist in the continued development of students’ computer literacy with the donation of these computers,” said James Bagnall, partner at Ogier.

The donated computers became available after a planned hardware upgrade at the law firm, which chose to refurbish and donate the machines rather than discard them. The computers were wiped and re-imaged with new operating systems and educational software and installed at George Town Primary School during the students’ Easter break.

“The students noticed the new machines immediately, and were excited to begin using them,” said GTPS principal Ms. Marie Martin. “We are grateful to Ogier for providing us with these computers, which will allow the students to continue to expand upon their IT skills.” (GL / Ogier)
