Learning Technologies

At St John’s, new and emerging technologies are promoted to support, enrich and enhance student learning.

The presence and use of Information, Communication and Learning Technologies (ICLT) is an integral part of our modern classrooms.

Technology is embedded across all Key Learning Areas.

At St John’s, we integrate the use of technology into daily classroom practice in a manner which allows students to interact with technology as a regular part of the learning process.

A wide range of technology is used to assist in developing practical and relevant learning skills in all students. We typically use Apple technology as it is functional for educational purposes and is well supported by Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong.

1:1 iPAD PROGRAM

St John's Catholic Primary School, Campbelltown aims to provide contemporary quality learning environments for students through the integration of technology across all Key Learning Areas. As part of this process, we have implemented a 1:1 iPad Program for our Years 5 and 6 students. iPads are used in a range of learning spaces, allowing students the opportunity to achieve desired learning outcomes in ways that are not always possible using traditional methods.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

Digital citizenship is a priority at St John's Catholic Primary School, Campbelltown, with all students participating in learning experiences that focus on being responsible and ethical users of technology.

Teachers use a range of resources developed by the Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong, the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and other online safety organisations, to assist in the ongoing education of our students in being safe and responsible digital citizens.

The CEDoW Digital Citizenship Program Site provides a program of resources for our students on digital citizenship.

OLIVER - OUR LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Oliver is our school's Library Management System. It is fully web-based, so the whole school community can access library resources including eBooks and Audiobooks. Simple, clear search options like dynamic picture searches help young students find books and other resources that appeal to them. They can also choose from a huge selection of background graphics and avatars to personalise their library experience.

Oliver means students and staff can also manage their loans and reservations — anywhere, anytime.
