Curriculum programs across Years 7 to 12 at Hervey Bay State High School rely on digital pedagogy. Our curriculum is designed for students to engage in authentic learning experiences (face to face and online) focusing on collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and embedding information and communication technologies across all subjects, including feedback and assessment.
With today's access to digital technologies, all students need to have a seamless movement between school and home. We encourage all students to have a personal laptop device to support their learning and this is a responsibility of families under the Student Resource Scheme (SRS) to provide.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a key capability of the Australian Curriculum. Students develop capability in using ICT for tasks associated with information access and management, information creation and presentation, problem-solving, decision-making, communication, creative expression and empirical reasoning - including conducting research, creating multimedia information products, analysing data, designing solutions to problems, controlling processes and devices, and supporting computation while working independently and in collaboration with others.
Bring Your Own Device exists at Hervey Bay State High School to support digital teaching and learning:
