Learning Resources and Technologies
Learning Technologies
Learning technologies play an important role in supporting teaching, learning, and assessment across the College. Digital devices are used purposefully to enhance classroom learning, support independent study, and develop the skills students need to engage effectively with contemporary learning environments.
Using a Computer to Submit Work
Students using computers to submit work for assessment are responsible for ensuring that there is an alternative system in case of computer or printer unavailability, that hard copies of work in progress are produced regularly, and that work is regularly backed up to a file not stored on the computer. Work is only regarded as being satisfactorily electronically submitted when it is received by the teacher in good condition and accessible by school programs. Students have a responsibility to ensure that their school email account is serviceable and that they have sufficient print credit to be able to print their work.
Calculator Use
In many subjects a calculator is permitted to be used in School-Assessed Coursework (SACs) and in internal and external examinations. However, where permitted, only a scientific calculator may be used in subjects other than specific Mathematics.
In Mathematics, where a CAS Calculator may be used, only approved VCAA models may be taken into assessment tasks and examinations. The Casio Classpad II CAS calculator is used for General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and for Specialist Mathematics.
Only ONE CAS calculator is permitted in Mathematics examinations. A scientific calculator may also be used. If using a CAS calculator other than these students must confirm with their teacher to confirm the calculator is approved for use by the VCAA.
Resource and Book Lists
Where to Purchase
Each year level is provided with a Resource List for the year ahead. This includes all required items in order for your child to fully participate in their school program. These items may be ordered from the College supplier, Campion School Supplies.
To make the process as simple as possible, all items can be ordered online and be delivered to your home or nominated address, with secure online payment available at checkout.
