IT progress at Scotch
With rapid change and growing complexity in the digital world, Information Technology plays an increasingly vital role at Scotch. To explore the many projects currently underway in more detail, we invited Matt Power, Head of IT, to talk to us about the tech magic happening behind the scenes.
Matt has had an extensive career in and amongst ITC in schools, beginning at the University of Technology Sydney( UTS) with the School of Computing Science, where his passion for technology and helping people merged.
“ At UTS, I delved into networks and devices, working on significant projects like server room upgrades, and a major move into the historic Fairfax building. These experiences created a curiosity in how ICT could be used to improve how we work.” Matt explained.“ After UTS, I joined William Clarke College where I uncovered a passion for supporting ICT in schools. Whilst there, I developed a comprehensive ICT system, built an ICT team, created a portal and parent communication system, and developed a student dashboard that provided real-time insights into student involvement.”
