Information Technology

Swan Valley Anglican Community School recognises that the development of teaching and learning processes become technology centric, with the focus on ensuring our students are prepared for future industries in a rapidly changing world. This change affects the traditional understanding of how subject matter is taught and creates the need for a strong set of social attitudes and institutional values.

With all students from Years 4-12 readily able to access a 1:1 device, we have the potential to engage our students in a wider range of curriculum opportunities and encourage students to explore new and creative ways of thinking. Our students have opportunities to create and design multimedia coursework, understand and program robotics, print digital designs in 3D and learn to communicate and collaborate in teams with schools across the globe.

1:1 Information

The School operates a school-owned device program with a compulsory ICT levy applied annually for access to technology. This ICT levy applies to all students in Years 4-12. Only School-owned computers are allowed to be used as part of the 1:1 program.

ICT Policies

Students using IT Resources at the School must adhere to the Student Acceptable Use Policy outlined here.

An additional policy for students operating under the new ICT Levy, must signed by both student and their Parent/Guardian - located here.
