Technology

We integrate digital technology into the classroom to enable students to integrate with their material and to create in new and different ways.

All Saints will provide digital devices for Junior School students to use to research, create and record their learning.  as well as developing hand-writing and other more tactile related skills.

In Prep through to Year 2, the iPads will be a shared one between two students. In Years 3 and 4, each student will be assigned an iPad.

Physical Education

In the early years, we focus on games and activities that help students to master basic motor skills such as catching, throwing, kicking, leaping and running. These skills set up students to perform well in a variety of more complex sports that are introduced progressively in each year group.

Our expert Physical Education Team will further embed the work of teachers to inspire and instil in students the importance of teamwork.
