Apple Distinguished School Update

Wonga Park Primary School is proud to be recognised as an Apple Distinguished School (ADS) since 2011. We are recognised for the work we do in Challenge Based Learning (CBL) and our 1-1 iPad Program. ADS schools are centres of leadership and excellence that demonstrate vision for learning and technology. 

We are proud of the innovative space that we work in and the excellence that our staff demonstrate in the area of ICT and CBL.

What is Challenge Based Learning?

Challenge Based Learning helps children develop 21st century century skills. It is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages learners to use the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems. Challenge Based Learning is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with peers, teachers and experts in their communities and around the world to ask good questions, develop deep subject knowledge, identify and solve challenges, take action and share their experience

With our focus on developing a rigorous curriculum, rich with student voice, and the opportunity to use the appropriate technology to showcase their understanding, we have implemented a truly personalised program.

In this edition of the newsletter we felt it was timely to share our 2021 Apple Distinguished  School update with you.
