“Apple iMacs was the obvious choice for our students, IB requires a high standard
of work, by providing them with the tools that is also replicated at university and
the work place provides our students the IT skills needed in the world of media”
15. MUSIC
Logic Pro Garageband
“In the world of music we want to engage students early on and introducing them
to Garageband allows students to create something very easily and quickly,
students who want to take it further can simply ‘drop’ the garageband file into
Logic Pro to take advantage of the advanced features”
16. ART

“We wanted a robust device that could run applications native to art, we are
pushing the boundaries by allowing students to create films of their work. We also
use the iMacs for Stop Motion Animation and the simplicity of the software makes
the whole process extremely simple”
