Digital Technologies at Oranga School
At Oranga School, we use digital technologies to complement and support teaching and learning. Students have opportunities to use a range of digital tools to create, communicate, collaborate and share their learning. We are continuing to strengthen our approach to digital learning across the school, with a focus on building students’ confidence, capability and understanding of how to use technology safely and purposefully.
Our students have access to devices such as Chromebooks and iPads, along with coding and robotics equipment. Digital tools are carefully selected to support curriculum learning and are used alongside hands-on, creative and collaborative learning experiences.
We teach students how to use digital technologies safely, responsibly and respectfully. This includes protecting personal information, communicating appropriately online, caring for equipment and making positive choices as responsible digital citizens.
Google Apps for Education and Hāpara*
Students in Years 3–6 have a school-managed Google account. This provides access to tools such as Google Drive, Docs and Slides within Oranga School’s secure digital environment. Students can create, save and collaborate on learning with their teachers and classmates.
Hāpara enables teachers to share learning tasks, resources and feedback with students. It also helps teachers guide and monitor students’ online activity to support safe, focused and responsible digital learning.
Online Safety and Security
All devices connected to the Oranga School network are protected by Network for Learning (N4L) web filtering and security services. These help block inappropriate or unsafe content and reduce access to websites that may contain malware or phishing threats. Filtering is one part of our wider approach to online safety, which also includes active teacher supervision and teaching students to make safe and responsible choices online. Learn more about N4L’s online safety services.
Other Online Learning Websites
We use a range of carefully selected online programmes to support learning across the curriculum. These include:
-
Sunshine Online – an online literacy programme that provides students with levelled books and activities to support their reading development and comprehension.
-
Accessit – our online library management system, which allows students and staff to search the school library catalogue and explore available resources.
The school pays for subscriptions to many of the digital programmes we use. As Oranga School participates in the School Donations Scheme, there is no cost to whānau for students to access these resources.
