Technology - Glasshouse Christian College

Technology

For many years Glasshouse Christian College has been leading the way in technological advancement and innovation among the Sunshine Coast schools and it is our students who reap the benefits. 

Year 7 through to Year 12 students are issued with their own laptops already loaded with all the programs and security they need. Laptops are included in the one low tuition fee. The laptop replaces many textbooks and makes for much lighter loads for students’ backpacks. 

Our Primary students from Year 3 have their own laptop for use during school time and also learn to be proficient with iPads. From Year 4, students are writing code and creating robots to follow simple instructions. A coding club meets regularly for those who want to challenge themselves and learn more. From Prep to Year 2, students have excellent access to iPads, laptops and desktop computers, however, technology plays a smaller part in their curriculum and the emphasis is on core learning skills. 

GCC has unlimited wireless internet across the whole campus for real-time learning and strong filters are in place to ensure a safe and engaging learning experience.
