Technology at Overnewton empowers students to think critically, communicate creatively and learn with confidence.
Our integrated approach to learning technologies ensures students are equipped with the digital skills needed for today and tomorrow. From Prep through to Year 12, we use technology purposefully to enhance learning, deepen engagement and prepare students to thrive in an evolving world.
Technology in the Classroom
Prep – Year 2
iPad Use
From Prep to Year 2, students have access to College iPads to enhance teaching and learning activities, where appropriate.
iPads have proven effective learning tools for our younger learners, particularly for their portability and touchscreen interface.
Year 3 – Year 6
iPad BYOD Program
Our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program ensures iPads are purposeful learning tools for Years 3–6, empowering students to take ownership of their learning. With access to relevant apps, they engage in interactive, personalised education that builds critical thinking and digital literacy. iPads also enable teachers to provide real-time feedback through digital assessments, enhancing student progress and equipping them with essential skills for lifelong learning.
Year 7 – Year 12
MacBooks
The College-leased MacBook program equips students with the digital skills needed for senior schooling and beyond.
MacBooks provide powerful creative tools for video editing, programming, graphic design, and CAD, expanding students’ technical capabilities. Exposure to multiple operating systems and software applications enhances digital literacy, while an intuitive interface supports efficient file storage and organisation.
Students receive guidance on device care, security, and responsible use, alongside training in file management and online storage to streamline learning.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
