Learning Technologies

At St Clare's, we are committed to integrating information, Communication, and Learning Technologies (ICLT) into the daily lives of our students. ICLT is a powerful tool that enhances learning experiences, fosters creativity, and empowers students to thrive in the digital world. By leveraging students' natural affinity for technology, we create opportunities for engagement and success in today's connected society.

Access to Learning Devices

We provide a wide range of technologies to support students throughout their primary school journey:

Classroom Technology: All classrooms are equipped with televisions and Apple TVs or Commboxes to support collaborative and interactive learning.
iPads in Early Years (K-2): Each classroom from Kindergarten to Year 3 has access to a pod of iPads, enabling younger students to develop foundational technology skills.
1:2 Shared iPads (Year 3): Students in Year 3 participate in a 1:2 Shared iPad Progran where they have access to their own documents on a shared iPad.
1:1 iPad Program (Years 4-6): Students in Years 4 to 6 participate in 1:1 iPad Progran, using their own SMP (School Managed Program) iPads to school to engage in personalised, technology-rich learning.

Our technology initiatives ensure that students are equipped with the tools they need to meet modern educational challenges.

1:1 iPAD PROGRAM

St Clare's Catholic Primary School, Narellan Vale 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.

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.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

Digital citizenship is a priority at St Clare's Catholic Primary School, Narellan Vale, 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.
