Computing

Starting in 2026, G1, G2, and G3 Computing will be offered as elective subjects for all upper secondary students. This expansion allows more students to explore and deepen their interest in Computing while building essential digital competencies for the future.

Value of Computing

In an era of rapid technological advancements and the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital transformation is reshaping the way we learn, work, and live. To stay competitive, companies must embrace innovation, and individuals must continuously develop digital skills to remain relevant in the evolving job market.

Computing education plays a crucial role in preparing students for this future. By offering hands-on opportunities to develop computational thinking, problem-solving skills, and technical expertise, Computing subjects equip students with the foundational knowledge needed for digital literacy, innovation, and emerging careers in technology.

Learning Outcomes

At Peicai, our G1 and G2 Computing subjects aim for students to

• Develop essential computational thinking skills along with 21st century competencies,

• Develop digital competencies in using digital tools to create digital artefacts, process information, communicate effectively and solve simple problems,

• Appreciate the legal, ethical and security issues relating to the use of computers, and

• Gain understanding of emerging technologies and the impact of technology on society.

G2 Computing shares about two-thirds of the content with G1 Computing, however a higher level of demand is expected for G2 Computing to develop deeper understanding and computational thinking skills.

Criteria of Offer

*Students who primarily take G1 subjects are strongly encouraged to take G1 Computing, as it provides a valuable foundation and enhances their post-secondary education prospects.

Model of Offer

Students offering G1 and G2 Computing will take the subject at Peicai Sec, while students offering G3 Computing will attend lessons at Zhonghua Sec.
