Victoria's new Digital Technologies Curriculum is threaded throughout all subject areas at Derinya. iPads are used throughout the school from Foundation through to Grade 6 to support and enhance the teaching and learning process, with teachers maintaining a healthy balance between screen time and face to face contact. From Grade 4, students will have access to their own iPad via Derinya's Co-Contribution Program. 

Technology is used in a multitude of ways, including:

• using iPad apps for learning of fundamental number facts
• creating writing presentations
• learning typing skills
• presenting to the class via interactive whiteboards/screens
• researching for inquiry projects
• learning coding skills
• programming and experimenting with robots
• maintaining a portfolio of work, shared with home via Seesaw
