The learning framework at Sacred Heart Mosman comprises of three key elements; Engagement, Wellbeing and Achievement supported by high quality learning and teaching. Technology enables delivery.

Technology supports Engagement through:

• Visibility of student learning and engagement between school and home

• Enhanced learning opportunities

• A variety of interesting resources, stimulus materials and learning tools

Wellbeing is supported through: 

• Learning about technology etiquette, the public nature of online activity and related responsibilities

Achievement is enabled through: 

• Development of student research, evaluation and questioning skills 

• Online fluency and practice

• Opportunities to be successful through a variety of mediums

This  framework created by Michael Fullan, outlines four elements that combine to foster deep learning; pedagogy, environment, learning partnerships and leveraging digital technology. 

Leveraging digital supports student's growth in learning about six key deep learning competencies. These are referred to as the 6Cs: character, citizenship, communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. 

To encourage deep engaging learning technology supports:

• Critical and creative thinking skills to solve problems

• A collaborative learning platform

• A variety of means for the development of communication skills

• Identifying real world problems and learning about how to make a difference in the world.

The NSW syllabus requires students to be able to complete tasks with and without the use of technology across all learning areas. 

Skill development and use of technology increases from Years 3 to 6.

Students develop capability as they learn to use ICT effectively and appropriately to access, create and communicate information and ideas, solve problems and work collaboratively in all learning areas at school, and in their lives beyond school.
