Our students are given the opportunities
to develop knowledge and skills with
digital technologies so that they are
equipped to respond to rapid changes in
our society.
We expect our students to be leaders in
their own lives with digital technologies.
Throughout the school we encourage
appropriate use of digital technologies
to support and enhance learning. Our
wireless network enables our students to
use their digital devices throughout the
school.
By using our Learning Management
System (LMS) our students and parents
can access information about their
academic programmes and e-portfolios
along with day to day organisational
information.
Robotics
Robotics is introduced from Year 1.
In education, Robotics is seen as an
interdisciplinary, project-based learning
activity drawing mostly on mathematics,
science, and technology. It offers major
new benefits in education at all levels.
Robotics implements 21st century
technologies and can foster problem-
solving skills, communication skills,
teamwork skills, independence,
imagination, and creativity.
Taking into consideration that students
have a better understanding when they
express themselves through invention
and creation, Robotics activities are
considered to be a valuable learning tool
that can contribute to the enhancement
of learning and to the development of
students’ thinking.
Our girls are encouraged to enter
RoboCup competitions. The focus of
RoboCup is for students to learn from
each other, by watching other robots
compete and by sharing solutions to the
problems presented.
Leading in a Digital Age
Digital technologies impact every aspect of our lives and
are vitally important to New Zealand’s growth in the 21st
century.
