ICT at St Edmund's College

St Edmund’s College has the aim of incorporating ICT across the curriculum in all years and providing teachers and support staff with the best technology platforms for their work. The college has a school wide pedagogy based on Challenge, Collaborate, Create, Contemplate and Connect. We also recognise that our students will live in a digital world and we must prepare our students for that future.

Our CHALLENGE is to provide high quality ICT resources so that we can:

COLLABORATE to facilitate communication and collaborative learning activities
CREATE stimulating learning spaces and environments
CONTEMPLATE and CONNECT using a range of technologies in the classroom, virtual classrooms, libraries and communities
