Technology

Our school is well equipped with a number of technological devices that aim at providing the students with a more engaging learning experience whilst also enhancing the quality of learning taking place.

Each classroom is equipped with an Interactive Whiteboard that is used everyday to enhance and support the learning taking place. We also have two sets of Learning Response Devices that work with the Interactive Whiteboards to provide a one on one response system that can be used within the classroom.

In addition to this, we also have a fully equipped computer lab which is used to explicitly teach the students computing skills which are essential for 21st century learners.

We currently use a range of devices iPads, chromebooks and Thinkpads within the classroom from Kindergarten through to Year 6 to enhance the learning experiences of our students as well as Apple TV’s. Our Year 5 and 6 classrooms have a 1 to 1 school-owned device ratio that enable students to easily share and present their work.

At St Cecilia’s we acknowledge and appreciate the positive impact that using technology effectively within the classroom can have on the children’s learning and its ability to challenge and extend the learning taking place within the classroom.

” We love using iPads and computers at school because it makes our learning more interactive, fun and challenging. We are able to present our learning in so many different ways” (Year 6 students)
