ICT and Commitment to Innovation

At Kingston, we are committed to use Digital Technology to enhance teaching and facilitate learning of our Transdisciplinary Programme of Inquiry. These technologies are used for the purpose of collaboration, creation, communication, design, analysis and to promote digital citizenship amongst our student body. Our ICT department staff provide support to both teachers and students in order for smooth integration of Educational Technologies. Professional Development is also provided to staff in areas of Educational Technology.

 

Years 1 - 3
Years 1 - 3 students have access to MacBook, Chromebook and iPad carts with a substantial number of devices so that teachers can integrate these resources to enhance their teaching and learning.

Years 4 - 6
Years 4 - 6 have a 1-to-1 Laptop program here at Kingston. Our 1-to-1 program ensures that students are equipped with this essential 21 Century Learning tool to use in their Transdisciplinary Units of Inquiry.

Kingston remains committed to innovation in education and equips staff and students with the necessary tools and skills in order to utilize new technologies. Ongoing training is provided to staff on new initiatives within the school. With each new development we ensure to keep our community up to date every step of the way.

The areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Music are embedded across our Programme of Inquiry. The Arts and Music are taught by Specialist teachers who have a long history of expertise in both of these areas. Science, Technology and Engineering are embedded throughout our curriculum and are supported by our class teachers and members of our ICT department.

Our addition of STEM/STEAM resources such as Beebots, Makey Makeys, Make-dos and more are available for teachers to book out at their convenience when integrating into our Programme of Inquiry.
