Technology
Parents, caregivers and educators need to be proactive in teaching students to appropriately access, evaluate, and utilise technology. ICT also offers vastly expanded capacities for collaboration, feedback, and networking that have the potential to make teaching and learning more powerful, efficient, and creative.
For many of our students these capabilities have already become part of their lives; and their education needs to reflect not only the world in which the majority of them already live, but also the world in which all of them will need to both live and work in a few short years.
The College has integrated personal technology devices in all classrooms. ELC and Infants classrooms have devices they make available to students for a variety of activities. Students in Years 3 to 6 bring their own device to school. The College’s Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) program enables families to provide devices they are able to support and with which they and their children are already comfortable using. Please see the letter from the Head of Primary for specifications of the device required.
College families may purchase devices that meet our minimum standards online at:
Learning With Technology
Please follow the link below:
The College’s network allows approved devices access to the internet. To access an ‘NWCC’ wireless network access point students must set their device to ‘DHCP’ networking and connect using their personal network username and password. Care needs to be taken to protect passwords.
The College reserves the right to disallow devices from network access where their device is set up incorrectly or if it has any programs installed that could disrupt the network.
College students are issued with a Microsoft 365 account that includes a College email account (firstname.surname@nwcc.nsw.edu.au).
Secondary students are required to use their Microsoft One Drive to store and backup their documents and desktop. When using College desktop computers, students are able to use the desktop for temporary storage only. These documents are erased when the student logs off the computer and cannot be retrieved later.
All students have access to Office 365. They can log in using their school email address and password. Students may download and install the office products available in Office 365 onto their devices that they will be using at school and for working at home.
The College supplies most of its digital documents in Portable Document Format (PDF) encoded with the latest version of Adobe. To read these documents families will need to ensure that their device has an up-to-date PDF reader. A common option is Adobe Reader and the latest version can be downloaded from the internet.
Students are encouraged to scan documents to USB or email rather than print to reduce their carbon footprint. The College advises families to provide students with a printer at home.
