Mount Sinai College has always sought to be innovative and progressive in creating learning opportunities for students. Technology is viewed as a tool, an enabler, to enhance the learning outcomes of students across the Key Learning Areas of the Curriculum.

Since 2013, Mount Sinai College has provided iPads for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6, supporting a seamless integration of technology into everyday learning. Recognising that teacher expertise is key to successful technology use, we invest in ongoing professional development, ensuring our educators are well-supported internally and externally through mentoring, collaboration, and training.

We are proud to have been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School since 2013, an acknowledgment of our commitment to innovation, leadership, and educational excellence.  

The Apple Distinguished School designation is reserved for programs that meet the criteria for innovation, leadership, and educational excellence and demonstrate Apple’s vision of exemplary learning environments.

Mount Sinai College is pleased to announce that it has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School for a 5th designation (2024 – 2027) for its unique implementation of Apple technology. The College has always sought excellence, and our embrace of iPads seems like such a comfortable fit for us. Seeing technology blending quietly with pedagogy in such dynamic and transformative ways is exciting.

At Mount Sinai, students don’t just consume technology—they create with it. The selection of Mount Sinai as an Apple Distinguished School highlights its success in providing an innovative and compelling learning environment that engages students and provides tangible evidence of academic accomplishment. 

A host of multimedia resources, apps and peripherals are available. With a robust, fast and safe network, students are active and enthusiastic technology users, which is always at their fingertips.

Changes are constant, and as part of our shift towards deeper STEAM integration, we embrace a maker culture, equipping students with skills in:

✔ Robotics & Coding
✔ Minecraft for Education
✔ 3D Printing & Design
✔ Challenge-Based & Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning is a natural part of what we do in our classrooms, and we incorporate challenge-based learning (CBL) across K-6.  This provides authentic learning opportunities to publish and interact with broader audiences.

While technology offers powerful learning opportunities, we also recognise that true creativity, passion, and imagination can’t be downloaded—they must be nurtured. At Mount Sinai, we balance digital innovation with reading, writing, reflecting, and discussion, ensuring students develop technological fluency and human connection.

Through meaningful, real-world learning experiences, our students are not just future-ready—they’re future leaders.
