Digital Learning

Holy Cross College has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School for innovation, leadership and educational excellence.

Holy Cross College leads the way in the use of digital technologies in education. We are a future-focused learning community where Apple technology supports and extends innovative approaches to learning. Our College Mission calls us to be a future-focused school, developing visionary young people who embrace their changing world with confidence and optimism. We are committed to educating and encouraging students to become competent, discriminating and creative users of a range of technologies. Technology is fully integrated into all learning areas from Pre-kindergarten to Year Twelve. This enhances learning and prepares students for their role in the digital world in which we live. As a College, we are committed to promoting the dignity of the human person and, in doing so, promoting ethical and appropriate use of technology by all members of the College community.

Digital Technologies provide opportunities for:

greater flexibility and differentiation in meeting the needs of individual students.
students to take greater ownership of their learning as they develop skills to become independent, life-long learners.
engaging with new learning possibilities to extend interaction by both students and staff within their local and global communities.

High-quality learning and teaching experiences are the key drivers in the use of technology in the College, not the technology itself. All students from Year One to Year Twelve have an Apple iPad, which they use as an integral part of the learning experience. Contemporary learning spaces support our concept of ‘anywhere, anytime’ learning.
