The students at Five Rivers Government Secondary had reason to celebrate as their website depicting the birth of the Five Rives community garnered them a Gold award from the International School Cyberfair.

While the website is not the running for the next Web 2.0 design award when you take into account the obstacles that the team from Five Rivers was faced with in getting this completed it is a commendable effort.

Some of the comments and challenges faced included the lack of a reliable internet access at the school and the lack of an adequate access at their homes delaying the upload of information.Only one student had internet access at home and they had to depend on internet cafes and teachers to assist.

With only four to six computers reportedly available in the classroom and an unreliable internet connection what are the expectations to be had of those who should be at the forefront of the digital revolution to survive?
