IMPROVEMENTS FOR OUR STUDENTS
Exciting New Student Resources
New technology and interesting resources are being provided to our students through generous parent donations.
The items provided for students by these donations include the following:
Purchase of microphones – so small in size but so big in volume. Enhancing students’ performances and increasing audience enjoyment of performances.
Science, STEM and other learning departments will benefit from the purchase of an Oculus VR Headset. The science department has purchased another through the Digital Literacy Grant. Oculus is making it possible to experience anything, anywhere, through the power of virtual reality. They can be used to enter and create virtual learning environments.
A large variety of cameras and equipment to include Go-pros. The Cameras give our students the “edge” when competing in the 3-in-1 competition and producing sporting flicks. Winning entries will be on display at the Art Show and at Speech Night.
5 Forerunner GPS units and Ipads for remotely recording information and further viewing on the gym projector. Allowing student/teacher feedback when performing skills. Improving efficiency of lessons and being enjoyable too. The recordings are also able to be linked to the gym projector.
Our musical students have benefited with the purchase of a Marching Mellophone and a Roland Keyboard. Used in ensembles, production and across all music events.
Library Fund
Our School leadership works hard to provide the best facilities and equipment possible for our students. The funds generated from parent payments to the Building Fund, Library Fund, Chaplaincy, Grounds and General donations makes an enormous difference to what can be achieved each year.
Our Library has a large number of resources to include games for “Technology Free Fridays”. Some days the Library is standing room only! Games can have queues of students – competition is king.
The library is home to a large range of cameras – funded over the years and used by students across all levels. The 3-in-1 film projects are developing each year into amazing productions. Participation in this project or any others are not possible without the funding provided by donations.
