** Problem Statement **

The current site, as it is flash based, takes a very long time to load as compared to regular html pages, and also results in pages not loading correctly for users with slower internet connections. The lay-out is also hard to navigate and there is also a lack of information on the site, based on the amount of information available.

__**Summary of survey:**__

The results from the survey showed that the majority of participants were not happy with the existing website and believed a change would be for the better. Most of the participants use the website on a regular basis to access the syllabus, worksheets and other school related information. The majority believed that the current school website should contain more features to cater for those students with special needs.
