Digital Tech

Digital technology is an important part of learning at Botany Downs School. Students use digital tools across the curriculum to create, collaborate, research, reflect on their learning, and connect with authentic learning experiences. Alongside these opportunities, we teach students the skills needed to safely and responsibly navigate the online world.

We are a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) school for Years 4–6. Chromebooks are also available for students in Years 3–6, while our Year 0–2 students use iPads to support learning. Before using devices at school, all students and parents are required to sign a Digital Citizenship Agreement, which is renewed annually. Cyber safety and responsible online behaviour are explicitly taught across all year levels.

At Botany Downs School, we aim to develop confident and capable digital citizens who use technology positively, respectfully, and responsibly both at school and beyond.

Mobile phones and smart watches are discouraged and are to be kept in school bags. If these are brought to school, we accept no responsibility for these.
