Technology and Innovation
At ISWA, technology is used to support and personalise learning for all students.
ICT Hardware
- Our youngest learners, from Kindergarten to Year 2, have classroom sets of iPad tablets to supplement their learning.
- Students in Year 3 to 5 receive their own personal iPad. Students leave these in the classroom unless given particular permission to take them home.
- Students in Year 6 to 12 receive 2-in-1 Lenovo Thinkpad laptops with wrap-around touch screen and pen, for use both in the classroom and at home.
- Personal devices are the responsibility of the student, and our all-inclusive school fees cover the cost of the hardware. Both students and parents sign acceptable use agreements when the devices are issued.
- Wi-Fi and internet access is available in all ISWA classrooms, and every classroom is equipped with either an interactive whiteboard or a digital projector.
- Students may not use personal phones or other devices at school. It is recommended that these are left at home. Please see our mobile phone policy.
ICT Software
- ISWA uses Microsoft 365 and Adobe Creative Cloud, providing students and teachers with a comprehensive suite of digital tools and apps for collaboration, learning, and innovative productivity.
- Our school management system is Compass, and Toddle, our learning management system, is tailored to the International Baccalaureate programmes.
