Key Contributions When I arrived at Gilmore their network rating according to DEECD guidelines was a 2 out of 5. Basically the school did not really have a network as all computers were stand alone, with basic server control. This meant that they had no central management of user logons (all staff and students logged on using the username: student and password: student). The infrastructure of the network was ad-hoc, over 20 years old and had been unprofessionally designed and installed. The school had no area to share resources such as network drives or an intranet. The staffs skills where very low as they had not been exposed to professional development or innovative ICT tools. Each year I developed E-learning and ICT plan for the school. In 2009 I redesigned the network architecture and negotiated with a number of companies to and rebuilt the school network to improve its bandwidth by 10 times to the PC and 100 times on the backbone. I upgraded the entire printing system at the school including central management. I wrote and submitted a number of funding proposals to government and philanthropy organisations and gained over $100,000 in funding for the ICT development. Ran a professional development program and trained ICT peer coaches to improve their integration of ICT into their classrooms. Restructured the job roles of ICT staff and redeveloped the ICT team.  Developed the capacity to manage the complex cultural sensitivities and challenges within an ethnically diverse school community. Developed planned and rolled out of a sustainable 1 to 1 laptop program at the school from 7 -12. Managed and restructured all school databases, including cases 21, Mark book and First class. Managed and updated the school internet page. Developed an intranet for the school and trained staff in its use. Lead and organised a number of school training days. In April 2010 the school was audited with DEECD network guidelines and was rated at 5 out of 5.
