Our aim is for every student to develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, practices, and attitudes necessary in a progressively digital environment. We are committed to embracing the opportunities that digital technology provides to our students in their future endeavours and aspirations and believe that a program where students have access to the same technology and support will greatly enhance their skills, access and practices necessary in a progressively more digital environment.
As responsible users of technology, students can be safe online and gain the greatest benefit from the opportunities provided when using digital technologies in the classroom. Safe and responsible behaviour is explicitly taught at our College and parents/carers are requested to reinforce this behaviour at home.
