At Viewbank College we are committed to providing a future-focused Digital Learning environment that empowers every student to develop the skills, confidence, and agility needed to succeed beyond the classroom. Our approach blends high-quality teaching with innovative technology to create engaging, inclusive, and authentic learning experiences with industry standard hardware and software.
Our Vision
We believe that effective digital learning is not simply about access to devices—it is about enabling students to become creative problem-solvers, critical thinkers, responsible digital citizens, and confident learners. Our Digital Learning program supports this vision by integrating technology purposefully across all curriculum areas.
Our Commitment
At Viewbank College we continually evaluate and enhance our Digital Learning environment to ensure it remains innovative, effective, and responsive to student needs. Through our partnership with EduNet and our ongoing focus on best-practice digital learning, we ensure that every student has the tools, support, and opportunities needed to succeed.
Key Features of Our Digital Learning Environment
1. Contemporary Learning Technologies and Device Program
Our students have access to modern, reliable digital tools that enhance communication, collaboration, and creativity. To ensure every student has a device that meets their academic and technical requirements, we use the EduNet purchasing program, which provides a managed and cost-effective way for families to purchase devices that meet school-approved specifications.
This ensures:
- Consistent performance across student devices
- Hardware suitable for curriculum needs (e.g., multimedia, programming, cloud learning)
- Warranty and repair support that reduces downtime
- Long-term reliability for schoolwork, exams, and specialised software
2. Safe and Responsible Digital Citizenship
We explicitly teach cyber safety, online ethics, and responsible use of technology through programs aligned with state and national guidelines.

Our school is supported by secure, high-speed infrastructure that enables seamless access to learning platforms. The combination of reliable network services and EduNet-approved devices ensures that students can engage fully with our digital learning ecosystem without performance or compatibility issues.
