Course Work
Code.org Year 1 to Year 6
Touch Typing Year 1 to Year 6
The focus for students is on correct finger placement using the home row ASDF JKL; and not on speed. Speed will increase as students become more familiar with the letter placements. This comes with practice, practice and more practice.
Mouse Skills Year 1
Students develop fine motor control and hand–eye coordination by practising mouse movements such as navigating the cursor, clicking, double-clicking, dragging and scrolling. These foundational skills support confident and efficient use of digital systems across all learning areas.
Drawing with AI
Music Lab, Quick, Draw! and Auto Draw.
Additional Coding
Year 3 to Year 6 coding applications.
Tinkercad 3D Designing Year 4 to Year 6
Tinkercad is an easy-to-use online tool for creating 3D designs. Students learn to design, build and improve ideas while developing problem-solving and creative thinking skills.
Privacy and Security
Students learn about privacy and security by understanding how personal data is shared and stored online. They explore potential risks, use trusted platforms, and develop awareness of their digital footprint. Students practise making safe choices by applying privacy considerations, protecting passwords and passphrases, and knowing what to do when encountering inappropriate content or uninitiated contact. These skills support safe and responsible use of digital technologies.
