    Graeme College recently celebrated the opening of its new Computer Centre. The funds raised to pay for the centre stemmed from a partnership between 20 different groups: Graeme College; its Old Boys Union; four different sets of private funders; Rotary Grahamstown and its Anns; nine clubs in Rotary Hawaii District 500; a Rotary Club in Japan and in Denmark as well as Rotary International.

    Graeme College recently celebrated the opening of its new Computer Centre. The funds raised to pay for the centre stemmed from a partnership between 20 different groups: Graeme College; its Old Boys Union; four different sets of private funders; Rotary Grahamstown and its Anns; nine clubs in Rotary Hawaii District 500; a Rotary Club in Japan and in Denmark as well as Rotary International.

     
    One of Rotary International’s projects is to equal the local funding raised and matched by other Rotary Clubs around the world. The result was an impressive R473 000 which was used to fund a fully integrated system consisting of 46 computers, servers, printers, software and audio/visual equipment.
     
    An additional five computers were installed in the staff room for compiling lessons and three computers in the library for student research. Staff from Rhodes University’s Information Technology and Information Systems Departments assisted with the design and implementation.
     
    The project was managed by local Rotarian Glenn Arthur. At a recent opening ceremony, the District Governor of Rotary District 9320, Frank Baffoe from Maseru, unveiled a plaque to commemorate the official handing over of the new computer centre at Graeme College.
     
    In thanking Rotary, Graeme's headmaster, Peter Reed, referred to the significant impact that the centre would have on life at Graeme and on the life of the boys, particularly those who do not have access to computers at home.
