In today’s rapidly evolving world, digital literacy is essential for students to thrive. At our school, we are committed to providing a comprehensive Digital Technologies curriculum that equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate and succeed in the digital age.

Our Digital Technologies Programme

Our curriculum is designed to be engaging, hands-on, and relevant to real-world applications. We incorporate a variety of tools and activities to make learning about digital technologies both fun and educational.

1. Programming with Dash and Dot Robots: Dash and Dot are interactive robots that help students learn the basics of coding and robotics. Through guided activities and challenges, students program these robots to complete tasks, solve problems, and even perform creative projects. This hands-on experience fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

2. Bee Bots: Bee Bots are simple, programmable robots that are perfect for introducing younger students to the concepts of sequencing, estimation, and problem-solving. Students use directional commands to navigate Bee Bots through mazes and challenges, developing their understanding of basic programming logic in a playful and engaging way.

3. Integration with Other Subjects: We integrate digital technologies with other subjects such as mathematics, science, and the arts. This interdisciplinary approach helps students see the connections between different fields of study and understand how digital tools can enhance their learning across the curriculum.

Outside School Opportunities

We encourage our students to participate in digital technology activities beyond the classroom to broaden their experiences and challenge themselves further. One of the exciting opportunities available is the EPro8 Challenge.

• EPro8 Challenge: The Epro8 Challenge is an engineering and problem-solving competition that provides students with the opportunity to apply their digital technology skills in a competitive environment. Teams are tasked with building and programming solutions to a variety of challenges, using their creativity and technical knowledge. We are proud to share that one of our teams came fourth in the Wellington Regional finals event in 2023.
