Further Learning

INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY

At Black Rock we will continue to use the iPad program in Year 6. Our iPad program creates an engaging, 21st century learning environment.

Students will:

· Safely and effectively manage an online identity through collaborative and closed learning spaces.

· Use available digital solutions to develop skills and to demonstrate existing and new knowledge.

· Use ICT tools to create, produce and communicate.

We strongly recommend that students and parents are actively involved in discussions surrounding cyber safety and the appropriate use of digital technology. For cyber safety information and tips, please  see the school's website.

THINKING CURRICULUM

· Through observations, pose questions about people and events within and beyond their own experience.

· Increase repertoire of critical thinking skills for gathering and processing information.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

· Three hours of physical activity per week is a Department of Education  requirement. This involves PE lessons, Interschool sports competition and training, plus participation in fitness, circuit training and other fitness based games.
