Here at Beaudesert SHS, we strive to ensure that students have every opportunity to develop the digital skills so vital to the 21st Century workforce.
We have 12 dedicated computer labs, with full classroom sets of desktop computers. A further 10 classrooms have a smaller amount of desktop computers, allowing for research.
28 classrooms have their own set of laptops, that are stored in a charging trolley. The laptops can be used in that classroom, taken to another classroom, or even taken outside for an outdoors lesson in the fresh air.
Our Arts Department has 2 sets of MacBook laptops, installed with the latest in industry standard Adobe creative software. These MacBooks are assigned to art, photography and media classes.
Our Japanese, Learning Diversity, Media, Literacy and Numeracy and HPE departments also have their own sets of iPads, allowing students to work with games, apps, video creation and other features.
Students have the opportunity to work with both Windows and Apple devices, allowing them to develop familiarity with the world's 2 major operating systems.
As well as standard word-processing, they have access to software for:
- coding
