Advanced technologies

Integrated technology

Use of technology pervades teaching and learning across all courses as we prepare students t thrive in the creative economy of the future. Our innovative learning environments are embedded with digital infrastructure to support teaching and learning, including wireless internet and audiovisual resources. Our commitment to upgrading hardware and devices ensures your child will utilise cutting edge resources to build their skills in using technology to enhance their learning.

The advancement of technology is unprecedented and unpredictable. The digital world evolves fast and young people must be ready to embrace and harness new technologies as they emerge. In order to delve into the future of technology and its ongoing iterations, our students explore these innovations in user driven ways through tools, gadgets and facilities such as virtual and augmented reality, machine learning and computational thinking.

Students who have a passion for technology in all its forms engage in a range of learning activities stemming from engineering and coding, to robotics, drone technology and design. Students bring concepts into reality and test innovative solutions to complex problems.

Technologies Lab

Students who have a passion for technology engage in learning activities stemming from software development and engineering, to robotics and drone technology. This learning space allows students to use a range of software to form the architecture behind product manufacturing, and explore algorithms that enhance skills in robotics and coding such as speech recognition, visual perception and decision making. These processes also extend to our 3D printing facilities and laser technology that will enable your child to prototype and test ideas.

Our Virtual Reality Immersive tools are available to STEM students and teachers across subject areas where students delve into alternate realities and fully engage in experiential learning. This technology accelerates their understanding as they travel to locations across the globe, or view inside the human body to better understand anatomy. These highly engaging tools expose students to interconnected learning.

Fabrication Lab

This creative space is a flexible learning environment that comes fully equipped with interactive technology, and resources to facilitate design thinking, fabrication and creativity. The mixed materials facility enables your child to keep pace with the expectations of creative design across industries creating pathways to careers in UX experiences, interface and fashion design.

Our film and video production resources enhance creative and critical thinking across a range of subject areas. Students utilise the features of the green screen in the development and production of film and video. This production also extends to our 3D printing facilities that enable students to prototype ideas and engage in software and design processes.

Multimedia Lab

Our multimedia lab features a range of resources to enhance creative and critical thinking across media. Your child will be able to utilise graphics technology including film and video editing, to ideate and realise digital projects. The multimedia landscape features audiovisual equipment to create high quality multimodal texts leading to pathways in multimedia, animation and graphics.
