"We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher's hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world."- David Warlick


All Students from Prep-Year 9 are provided with access to a wide range of digital technologies as tools for learning and to develop higher order thinking. The use of technologies can be found within the classroom as well as in specialist areas of the College. This provides students with a two dimensional learning experience that will equip them for the twenty first century.

Acceptable Use Policy

All students in Year 5-9 are required to sign an acceptable use form at the beginning of each school year. This form is signed in conjunction by both parents and students with discussions at school and at home about what is appropriate use of technologies at school.

Cybersafety

Cybersafety is an important aspect of life with technology. Lessons on cybersafety are embedded into our curriculum from Prep- Year 9. Our school is working towards becoming an eSmart school. This program was developed by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation and aims at educating teachers, students and the community about the benefits, risks and ultimately how to stay safe online.
