For part 1 report, you are required to:  Analyse user network requirements  Describe and analyse the current network You will need to make a number of assumptions regarding the existing organisational structure including management hierarchy, software, hardware, circuit,  user communities and network use patterns , etc. which will need to be documented in the appropriate sections of your report.  Students form communities of users based on their subjects. Some do multimedia design while others do less computer intensive subjects. Each future lab needs a suite of software which matches the interests of these communities of students. One computer lab is multimedia, one computer lab is programming and the third computer lab is business studies.  Hint Work out the needs for each of these communities of users.   
You will need to identify all the circuits (cabling) and network hardware of the existing network(s) and explain their function, performance, capacity, etc. You will need to include both logical and physical network diagrams for the current network.  You will also need to provide a layout of your high school showing where your network devices are located. Presentation is important. No marks are allocated to referencing, however, you are strongly encouraged to do so if relevant.
