To ensure that the latest technologies are accessible to all students, we have a selection of laptops, desktops and iPads available for use during school hours, as well as BENQ interactive screens in each classroom. Classroom teachers use these technologies to help deliver the current Australian Curriculum and prepare children for their future.
Many of these technologies, such as iPads and laptops are directly accessible in classrooms and the schools has excellent 5G Wi-Fi access in every classroom to enhance curriculum lessons. A robotics and coding program is also part of our digital technology school curriculum, and is participated in by all students from P-6.
Teaching Staff at Buderim Mountain State School use a range of online software to enhance the learning opportunities for students across a range of subject areas. The Department of Education requires consent from parents to use their child's personal information to facilitate registration and use of any third-party web-based software.
Third Party Website Consent
The use of web based educational resources has risen steadily over the last decade and are increasingly being used by teachers to improve student learning outcomes. Our school makes decisions about the best technology to use to meet the needs of our students. Sometimes it is beneficial for students to utilise web services provided by third party web-based providers.
At Buderim Mountain State School, we have selected a range of third-party web providers that teachers use in their classrooms to enhance the learning for students. When students are enrolled at Buderim Mountain SS, parents are provided with links to information regarding what information each site collects, who has access to it and where the data is stored. This information can be found in the hyperlinks for each website.
Note: It is not a requirement for parents to provide consent for each website – If parents decide not to provide consent, this information will be stored centrally and communicated to your child's classroom teacher/s and specialist teachers.
