Technology

At Sawtell Public School we encourage students to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) effectivley and appropriatly to access, create, and communicate information and ideas, solve problems and work collaboratively.

When students use their Portal at school they are protected with the Department's filtering system, however when it is used from home this doesn't apply. It is recommended that parents are aware of internet filtering and protect their computers accordingly. The websites below may provide some assistance:

At Sawtell Public School we encourage responsible and respectful use of ICT at all times. Cyber bullying however is becoming an issue for all these days. These websites provide useful information which may assist you.

Sawtell Public School provides each student with unlimited access to Mathletics and Reading Eggs/Reading Eggspress. Students have been issued with personal usernames and passwords for both. These sites may be accessed at home using the links below.

Mathletics is now available on mobile devices by downloading their free app from iTunes.
