Learning & Teaching

eSmart Digital Licence 

As part of the Digital Technologies curriculum, the Year 4 students will be completing online modules provided by eSmart Digital Licence+ (Alannah & Madeline Foundation). This online learning experience builds digital intelligence in students, giving them the knowledge and skills they need to harness the opportunities and deal with the challenges of the digital world. 

Students will explore the following:

• understanding the importance of balancing their technology use with other things in their life and knowing how to achieve balance through cognitive self-regulation and the application of strategies
• understanding the many types of cyber risks (e.g. cyberbullying) and how kindness can be practised
• identifying the strategies to deal with cyber risks as they encounter them, and knowing how to behave like an upstander to help others
• understanding the attributes or ‘red flags’ of a cyber threat (particularly phishing scams), and knowing the strategies to identify, deal with, report and remain vigilant to cyber threats
• understanding what empathy is and why it is important
• recognising the challenges of online disinhibition and the strategies to demonstrate empathy online

Prep and Year 5/6 Buddy Program

Our senior students have been doing an amazing job as big buddies to our Preps, ensuring they have a smooth transition to their new school. The Buddy Program develops relationships between the younger and older children, enhancing the sense of a friendly and supportive school community.
