St Catherine’s Journey to a Modern Classroom

Challenge

St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School recognised the need to modernise their technology infrastructure to support the evolving learning needs of students. The leadership team aimed to provide a future-ready education that fosters creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. However, their existing devices lacked the flexibility and performance needed for today’s digital classrooms.

Solution

Partnering with IT&C, St Catherine’s implemented a school-wide rollout of Apple devices, including iPads and Apple accessories, across all grade levels. The decision was based on Apple’s reputation for durability, user-friendly design, and seamless integration with education apps.

IT&C worked closely with school leaders to:

• Recommend the right Apple models based on classroom needs
• Provide asset deployment and mobile device management (MDM)
• Ensure smooth delivery and setup with minimal disruption to learning
• Offer ongoing support and training for staff

Results

• Engaged Learning: Students now access interactive apps and tools that support literacy, numeracy, and STEM learning.
• Teacher Empowerment: Staff use iPads for content creation, student assessment, and real-time feedback.
• Future-Ready Skills: With Apple technology, students are developing skills in digital storytelling, coding, and problem-solving.
• Seamless IT Support: With IT&C’s dedicated education specialists, the school enjoys reliable technical support and advice.

How Winton State School Transformed Learning with Apple

Challenge

The school’s existing technology was no longer meeting the demands of a rapidly evolving curriculum. Educators wanted tools that could support interactive learning, encourage creativity, and cater to students with diverse needs and learning styles.

Solution

IT&C worked closely with the school leadership team to recommend and implement a tailored Apple solution that included:

• Classroom sets of iPads with protective cases
• Apple Pencils to support digital writing and creativity
• Mobile Device Management (MDM) for secure and efficient administration
• Onsite setup and staff training sessions

This hands-on approach ensured that staff felt confident using the technology, and students had immediate access to a range of educational tools.

Increasing Student Learning Outcomes

Apple technology has significantly impacted learning at Winton State School:

• Student Engagement: The interactive and intuitive nature of iPads has led to increased student motivation and participation.
• Individualised Learning: Apps and digital resources allow teachers to personalise content, supporting students at all ability levels.
• Digital Literacy: Students are building key 21st-century skills like digital communication, content creation, and online responsibility.
• Creative Expression: Tools like iMovie, GarageBand, and Keynote help students share ideas creatively and engagingly.
• Streamlined Assessment: Teachers can track progress in real time and tailor lessons to student needs.

Results

Since integrating Apple devices, Winton State School has seen improvements in student engagement, collaboration, and digital skill development. Teachers report that students are more eager to learn, more confident in presenting ideas, and better equipped to explore creative solutions to classroom challenges.
