Innovation and Technology
We believe that powerful learning experiences occur at the intersection of inspiration, engagement, innovation, and creativity. At Leumeah High School this starts with knowing and caring for all our students. We aim to prepare our students for the future by providing meaningful learning experiences, leveraging technology, explicitly teaching the 4C’s (Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking and Creativity) and continually reflecting on our practice.
Leumeah High School’s leadership focusses on the pursuit of educational innovation to support students in their future endeavours. With a focus on evolution in place of revolution the school has taken slow, strategic, and deliberate action to bring about change in practice and culture.
In the classroom, our students use iPads everyday to work through digital Pages workbooks that provide information, require them to collaborate with their peers, connect them to the outside world and then bring them back to consolidate their understanding. We are engaging students in learning through live online quizzes, exploring places and objects through VR and AR and putting the information at their fingertips.
With technology at their disposal and innovative pedagogical practices, students are sharing their understanding through a more expansive range of creative avenues. From explaining what they would need to survive Mars, ‘live from Mars’ (using green screen) to prototyping an App that allows young people to utilise school resources to reach their physical fitness goals, our students are more engaged and passionate about their school work. Learning has become real-world, problem-based and tailored to student learning needs. Student learning experiences are only restricted by their own creativity.
