Integrating ICT into Whole-School Curriculum

Courtney Gardens Primary School is located in Cranbourne North and has an enrolment of approximately 790 students. Our school has very high standards and expectations, and is committed to providing the best possible ICT education to our student population to prepare them for the future. The school is equipped with two (2) fully functional Computer Labs and a range of innovative ICT tools to complement teaching and learning.

How has your school successfully integrated ICT into its programs?

The CeLL initiative has provided many opportunities to work collaboratively with other schools while integrating ICT into the whole-school curriculum.

Emerging Technologies Grants focusing on Interactive Whiteboards (SMARTBoards) and iStopMotion have provided a unique opportunity to trial new technologies resulting in great improvements to our whole-school programs.
