Apple Distinguished Schools
Blairmount Public School has been selected as an Apple Distinguished School for 2020 - 2022. There are only 6 other public schools in NSW currently identified and only 470 schools across 34 countries globally.
Apple Distinguished Schools are centres of leadership and educational excellence that demonstrate Apple’s vision for learning with technology — and are considered some of the most innovative schools in the world.
Apple Distinguished School leaders, staff members and extended communities have a clear vision for how their technology-rich environments support learning goals. School leaders have established elements for continuous innovation that include culture, team, capacity, community, finance and measurement. Supporting the school’s vision is an ongoing process that requires thoughtful planning, practice and improvement along the way. We use technology to inspire student creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. We cultivate environments in which students are excited and curious about learning.
Apple Distinguished Schools readily share their achievements by collaborating with Apple teams to host onsite educator visits. At these events, school leaders demonstrate their vision for learning with Apple technology, and educators showcase best practices for using iPad, Mac, apps, Multi-Touch books and other digital materials to create powerful learning experiences.
