DIGITAL TechnologIES at Old orchard

Digital technologies continue to transform the way we live, work, play and learn. At Old Orchard Primary School, we recognise the important role technology plays in education and are committed to providing students with meaningful opportunities to develop their digital skills.

Technology is thoughtfully integrated into teaching and learning to support creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking. Our approach is purposeful and age-appropriate, with minimal use of digital devices in Prep-Year 2 and strategic, targeted use in Years 3-6 to enhance learning experiences and support curriculum outcomes.

To support this learning, Old Orchard Primary School provides school-owned iPads, with banks of devices available across each year level cohort. These iPads remain at school and are shared among students, ensuring equitable access to technology throughout their primary school years.

Our aim is to develop confident, capable, creative and responsible users of technology who can engage safely and effectively in the digital world.
