DIGITAL LEARNING AT BPPS
To engage in the 21st Century, students need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities. The use of digital technologies is a mandated component of the Victorian Curriculum F-10.
Boroondara Park Primary School is committed to embedding digital technologies across all learning programs. The effective use of devices is part of this commitment, with students being introduced to iPads when they start school. Our staff work to use devices to add to the learning programs, as a tool to complement the explicit teaching, small group work and paper and pen learning our students are involved in.
Boroondara Park Primary School understands that safe and appropriate use of digital technologies including the internet, apps, computers and tablets provide students with rich opportunities to support learning and development in a range of ways.
Through increased access to digital technologies, students can benefit from enhanced learning that is interactive, collaborative, personalised and engaging. Digital technologies enable our students to interact with and create high-quality content, resources and tools. It also enables personalised learning tailored to students’ particular needs and interests and transforms assessment, reporting and feedback, driving new forms of collaboration and communication.
Boroondara Park Primary School believes that the use of digital technologies at school allows the development of valuable skills and knowledge and prepares students to thrive in our globalised and interconnected world. Our school’s vision is to empower students to use digital technologies safely and appropriately to reach their personal best and fully equip them to contribute positively to society as happy, healthy young people.
The school currently supports an iPad program with school owned devices in grades F-3. In grades 4 to 6 our school operates a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, which means students must bring their own purchased or leased iPad with them to school each day. The Bring Your Own Device program will be gradually phased out over the 2024 - 2026 period with a fully implemented school owned devices program from 2027.
