In order to facilitate Teaching and Learning we are using Google classroom, which as you are aware we have been using regularly over the past number of years. Below are some sites that our teachers recommend that students use. Parents can also have a browse through these if you want to see what your child can access and also if you want to support their learning.
COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF RESOURCES BY SUBJECT ( ESP FOR THE LC)

Pocket papers App – free past papers, marking schemes in 3 clicks
