Information Technology 2025 Recap 

Digital Technology, Computing Technology and Enterprise Computing 

Students have been extremely busy during 2025 regarding Information technology. Here is a recap with some photos and videos of events and activities throughout the year.

Year 7 & 8 Technology Mandatory – Digital Technology

Year 7 were involved in developing skills to solve algorithms and coding programs

Year 8 were refining and further developing their coding skills using robots. Such activities as Sumo and a Dance off with Humanoid Robots as well as with Edison Robots creating programs using EdPy coding language.

Year 9 & 10 Computing Technology

Students have coded in Python and in Lego Mindstorms for create programs to solve a series of problems from avoiding an obstacle, parking their robot, Sumo and Ten Pin Bowling. They will now be looking at dev eloping a network as well as create Spreadsheets, Databases and a Website using HTML.

We also had an excursion to the ACT to go to the “Big Day In” at ANU which visits to Questacon and Mt Stromlo Observatory at night.

Stage 6 Enterprise Computing developed skills into different methods of creating Enterprise Systems such as Databases, Spreadsheets and some coding to create a SMART house device which were all a part of their Assessment requirements. 

These students had to do some training to answer questions in an Online Format for the HSC. Even though, it wasn’t the first HSC exam to be Online, it was still something very new to the students to have to work through. Students had a few practice sessions to try to get it right!

After rollover, Stage 5 Computing Technology are looking into how Networks and Social networking works. Students will be building their own network as well as working out how to connect 2 laptops together with and without wireless technology.

Stage 6 have started the other Information Technology course of Software Engineering and are currently working through 2 challenges in creating 2 different Python Programs – one which is their choice and one which they are ALL doing the Same. This is to update their existing coding skills in Python and to show what is required to get through this course successfully.

Here comes 2026!
