The goal of digital technologies within our school is that all of our learners have the opportunity to become digitally capable individuals.
Our focus is on students building their skills throughout their early years, so that they can be innovative creators of digital solutions, moving beyond solely being users and consumers of digital technologies.
Our school is well resourced to facilitate this goal. We provide Chromebooks to all students in Years 3-6, and a 1:2 ratio of Ipads in the junior years. This, together with a fast, reliable and robust network and a staff that is motivated to teach computational thinking and designing and developing digital outcomes, ensures that our school is at the forefront of teaching the new digital curriculum.
We take well-being and cyber safety very seriously at the school. Our network is secure and we are able to monitor your child’s browsing habits. We are a Netsafe school, frequently run cyber safety programmes. We also offer piece of mind to our community by partnering with FamilyZone to provide you with free software and support to help you monitor your child’s browsing habits across multiple devices that you may have at home.
STEAM
At our school, we believe in equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. That’s why Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), along with Information Technology (IT), are woven throughout our curriculum.
Our students actively engage in hands-on learning with a range of cutting-edge tools. From Lego Mindstorms and Lego WeDo kits that challenge students to solve real-world problems, to Sphero robots and Mbots where they learn to code using Scratch and other software, we foster a love for inquiry and innovation. We also utilize EPro-8 kits for in-depth STEAM projects, and proudly enter a team into the interschool EPro8 Challenge annually, having reached the semi-finals in both years we’ve participated. This integrated approach ensures our students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and computational skills crucial for future success.
