Digital technologies in the curriculum
Digital technologies are an essential part of developing capabilities for learning and responsible citizenship. Digital technologies are expected to be integrated across all learning areas, in line with the ICT capability of the Australian Curriculum. In order to develop responsible digital citizenship, students should be supported in developing information literacy, critical thinking and other relevant attributes to ensure their effective use of technologies. Models such as inquiry and Project-based learning are encouraged to achieve this.
Chromebooks
Our BYOD program is an exciting initiative designed to enhance student learning and prepare them for a technology-driven world. For families with students in Year 2 to 6, will need access to a device for your child to maximise their participation and engagement in this program.
Families will need to purchase the school-specified device from our secure BYOD Portal or a retail stockist.
Acer Chromebook 511 Spin
When purchasing your child’s Chromebook, you should also include a protective case, wired mouse and headphones, suitable for classroom use (over ear headphones).
We understand that every family’s situation is unique and appreciate your support in helping us create a positive and inclusive learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
