Since 2005 Opoutere School has been a participant in the Kopu Digital Opportunities project, the aim of which was to create an atmosphere where the children develop ‘a lifelong love of learning’ and to give them transferable skills to be able solve problems throughout their lives. In practice this has meant a range of information and communication technologies (ICTs) including wireless laptops with filtered high-speed internet access, interactive digital whiteboards and the KnowledgeNET (an online learning management system) being used to facilitate implementation of inquiry-based learning.

Each classroom at Opoutere School has desktop computers, wireless laptop computers and ACTIVboard interactive whiteboards. The ratio of computers to pupils  is currently 1:3 with a plan in plan to reduce this to 1:2 in the near future.
