As we start our 2021-22 educational year, we’d like to introduce you to our EdTech team.
Here at WAB we like to embrace the positive aspects of educational technology as a tool of creativity, learning and collaboration.
We are here to support you as parents in striking an informed balance at home and are here to answer your questions and provide support.
For IT, network, computer hardware and software related questions, please contact our IT team.
Throughout the year we will post a weekly update on various topics. If you’d like to suggest a topic, don’t hesitate to contact one of us. We also hold regular sessions for parents on topics of interest.
