Computer Use at School

Our approach to the use of information technology is that students will be educated to use it responsibly, wisely and when needed. While we do not completely rely on computer technology to deliver learning at school, students will use computers and access the internet when necessary and when teachers feel it is a useful additional tool to the curriculum. This will be strictly under the guidance of teachers. Students will not be given unsupervised access to the computers. Additionally, students have restricted use of any other electronic devices they bring to school. 

Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Classroom and Toddle: All students are issued a school email address. Students are expected to regularly check their school email and respond to emails from teachers as needed. All teachers have a Google Classroom or Toddle Class for each of their classes and students will be asked to submit assignments through these platforms as requested by the teachers. In addition, students will also be asked to use Google Calendar.

Digital Growth Portfolio: Each student in Year 7 to Year 11 has a digital portfolio set up for them. In this portfolio, students will be asked to reflect on their individual learning journey. In addition to reflecting on their academic growth, students will also be reflecting on their personal growth in the area of the four Bhavana as part of their work on the Panyaden Profile.
