Devices at CQS
Currently CQS provides a range of devices to support students' learning in the classroom. Our Junior rooms have iPads, while the Senior classes have chromebooks. When appropriate these are shared around to ensure the students have the right tool for the job.
Year 5 and 6 students have begun BYOD (bring your own device), with Chromebooks being the device required.
Other digital learning tools
We are continuing to build up our set of resources to enhance and expand digital learning opportunities. Currently have BeeBots for coding in the junior and middle school, Bloxels game development for middle and seniors, and Edison robots and Micro-bits with STEM extension kits for the senior end of the school. These combined with a variety of online and iPad apps provide a wide range of digital learning activities.
