“The Gardens School endeavours to be outstanding and Apple technology has served us admirably as our platform for developing innovative learning opportunities for students and staff.

Staff collaborate with students and one another to make thinking visible and to document the processes of learning and reflection. The Year 5/8 BYOiPad program means that students learn to capture and demonstrate their understanding through multiple creative pathways. Various methods of reflective practice, including self digital reflection journals, blog writing, and peer reflections help teachers assess student thinking and growth.

The one-to one iPad program in Year 4 gives these students the opportunity to develop the necessary skills needed to navigate the digital world safely. They can begin to share with a wider audience and begin to influence others through creation of content to demonstrate their learning. 

The one to two iPad program in Year 0-3 develops use of the iPad as a tool to create and learn with while developing strong literacy and numeracy skills.
