St Columbkille's Corrimal
A Catholic Parish Primary School
St Columbkille's is a technology-rich environment. We place a high level of importance on the use of technology and its impact on the changing nature of learning for students. As such, the presence and effective use of Information, Communication and Learning Technology (ICLT) is a key feature of our contemporary classrooms.
Students from Kindergarten to Year 4 have access to pods of iPads and computers which enable students and teachers to create, collaborate and communicate in a digital world. These are used to consolidate basic skills but more importantly, they are used to innovate, plan and create across a variety of Key Learning Areas.
St Columbkille's Catholic Primary School, Corrimal aims to provide contemporary quality learning environments for students through the integration of technology across all Key Learning Areas. As part of this process, we have implemented a 1:1 iPad Program for our Years 5 and 6 students. iPads are used in a range of learning spaces, allowing students the opportunity to achieve desired learning outcomes in ways that are not always possible using traditional methods.
Oliver is our school's Library Management System. It is fully web-based, so the whole school community can access library resources including eBooks and Audiobooks. Simple, clear search options like dynamic picture searches help young students find books and other resources that appeal to them. They can also choose from a huge selection of background graphics and avatars to personalise their library experience.
Oliver means students and staff can also manage their loans and reservations — anywhere, anytime.

Digital citizenship is a priority at St Columbkille's Catholic Primary School, Corrimal, with all students participating in learning experiences that focus on being responsible and ethical users of technology.
Teachers use a range of resources developed by the Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong, the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and other online safety organisations, to assist in the ongoing education of our students in being safe and responsible digital citizens.
The CEDoW Digital Citizenship Program Site provides a program of resources for our students on digital citizenship.
