National Presentation Network
The School is privileged to be one of 110 Independent Schools across Australia who are part of a project called Transforming the Education Digital Supply Chain (TtEDSC). This project is focused on discovering and harnessing the most effective ways of using broadband technology for present and future students.
Teachers will be able to participate in presentations and collaborations offered by other educators and special guests from their desktops. All sessions are virtual, involving no travel or inconvenience and there is no cost to participate and sessions will be hosted by TtEDSC using the Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing platform. All teachers participating will receive AITSL approved certificates of attendance that can be used towards required professional development hours.
The School has access to the following range of resources:
- ,,
- Video Conferencing using an advanced Polycom Encoder system, including the opportunity to participate in Virtual Excursions with providers such as Electroboard, the Museum of Human Disease, the Alaska Sea-Life centre, the Sydney Living Museum and many more.
- Music Masterclass instructional sessions for students through video conferencing.
- Access to the National Presentation Network, which is a virtual professional learning platform for teachers and is hosted by TtEDSC using the Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing platform. Staff also have the opportunity to present through the National Presentation Network.

The resources and services provided through the Transforming the Education Digital Supply Chain project are of the highest quality and provide opportunities that would just not be possible without the technology.
,, Whether it is going on a (virtual) excursion to Alaska or getting tutored on an instrument from one of Australia’s leading musicians, the possibilities offered help flatten the walls of the classroom and increase accessibility for learners all around Australia.
