Tailored technology to empower both teachers and learners
Program overview
The
Technology Integrated Curriculum excellence program (TIC) is a three-year program
and is designed for students who are passionate about using technology to enable their learning. It provides
an innovative learning environment that allows students to complete Australian Curriculum courses (e.g. Science) through teaching and learning experiences that are especially designed to embed and draw upon the power of technology.
TIC courses are delivered through an exclusive one-to-one program that utilises the power of Apple’s iPad Pros and Apple’s educational systems to enrich and extend students' learning both inside and outside the classroom.
These TIC courses also provide students with exclusive and carefully designed technology tasks (Formalised Technology Tasks) that enable and extend learning through
technologies that are purposefully selected, integrated and deployed.
Entry
into this program is by selection and enrolments are limited.
Program goals
- Provide an innovative
learning environment that allows students to complete Australian Curriculum courses through teaching and learning experiences that are especially designed to embed and draw upon the power of technology.
- Provide students with
carefully designed technology tasks (Formalised Technology Tasks) that enable and extend learning through
technologies that are purposefully selected, integrated and deployed.
- A final key goal of
this excellence program is to develop students' proficiency in a range of real-world
technologies, enabling them to become more effective learners as they progress
into their senior and tertiary studies.

TIC one-to-one iPad Pro program
From 2019, all students entering our school’s technology excellence program (Technology Integrated Curriculum (TIC)) will be included in an exclusive one-to-one iPad Pro program. This program provides students with a device through a Corporate-Owned, Personally Enabled (COPE) scheme that is specifically designed for the purpose and needs of the students’ TIC classes.
With this in mind, TIC students are not included in the mainstream BYOD and CYOD programs.
