Sandgate State School recognises that schools are now educating a generation of students who are growing up in a digital world. As the use of ICT continues to grow globally, students will increasingly demand an education that embraces ICT. At Sandgate State School all children from prep to year 6 will use computers for tasks ranging from online learning programs and communication tools to skill development through to creation software. We aim to make pupils aware of the value of computers and to feel confident in using them and to further develop our teachers' digital pedagogy. We aim to make the use of ICT integral to learning at Sandgate State School.
