Digital Learning
Learning in the Digital Age
To engage in the 21st Century, students need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities. The use of digital technologies is a mandated component of the Victorian Curriculum F-10.
Digital Technology to Enhance Learning
Boroondara Park Primary School is committed to embedding digital technologies across all learning programs. The effective use of devices is part of this commitment, with students being introduced to iPads when they start school. Our staff work to use devices to add to the learning programs, as a tool to complement the explicit teaching, small group work and pen and paper learning our students are involved in.
Boroondara Park Primary School understands that safe and appropriate use of digital technologies, including the internet, apps, computers and tablets, provides students with rich opportunities to support learning and develop in a range of ways.
Interactive, Collaborative and Engaging
Through increased access to digital technologies, students can benefit from enhanced learning that is interactive, collaborative, personalised and engaging.
Digital technologies enable our students to interact with and create high-quality content, resources and tools. It also enables personalised learning tailored to students’ particular needs and interests and transforms assessment, reporting and feedback, driving new forms of collaboration and communication.
Boroondara Park Primary School believes that the use of digital technologies at school allows the development of valuable skills and knowledge and prepares students to thrive in our globalised and interconnected world.
Empowering Students
Our school’s vision is to empower students to use digital technologies safely and appropriately to reach their personal best and fully equip them to contribute positively to society as happy, healthy young people.
The school currently supports an iPad program with school-owned devices in grades Foundation – 4. In grades 5 and 6, our school operates a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program, which means students must bring their own purchased or leased iPad to school each day.
The Bring Your Own Device program is being gradually phased out over the 2024 – 2026 period with a fully implemented school owned devices program from 2027.
Conduct and Guidelines
At BPPS, student safety extends into the digital world through the school’s comprehensive commitment to cyber safety education and awareness.
As part of our broader Student Wellbeing framework, we have implemented an eSmart program governed by our Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement to support students in navigating the online environment responsibly and securely.
This initiative is designed to educate students, staff, and families about safe online practices, recognising and managing risks, and fostering respectful digital interactions.
By embedding digital safety into our curriculum and community engagement strategies, we aim to equip our students not only as informed users of technology but also as empowered digital citizens.
The eSafety Commissioner provides significant resources and parent guides to support you in keeping your children safe online.
The school utilises resources from the eSafety Commissioner and frequently provides handouts to parents throughout the school year. The website offers resources on cyberbullying, parental controls, gaming, and apps, making it a valuable resource for parents.
