ICT Use

ICT is increasingly present in our world and it continues to evolve and grow. Everyone is expected to have the skills connect, collaborate, consume and create. Media, information and technology literacy is prerequisite for success in most fields of study and work. 

We are mindful of the application of ICT tools used for consumption. With this in mind, we see ICT tools as an amplifier for learning, creating, connecting, communicating and problem solving.

We are aware of the effects of screen time. We have made the following guidelines for computer use in the classrooms:

• Kindergarten children will only use iPads for creating Toddle posts

• Children in Years 1 and 2 routinely use devices in pairs to encourage collaboration

• Use of Google services and internet searching does not begin until Year 3

• 1-to-1 device use starts from Year 3

All our children from Year 3 are asked to sign and abide by our ICT user agreements.
