RISPARK – Speaking on the recent opening of two computer laboratories at Covenant College Primary School and Covenant High, School Governing Body memberCharmaine Esch said: “We’ve gone back to basics by using computers and not laptops or tablets due to a variety of issues, which waste time that can be used for teaching.”
