Digital Leadership Team

The Digital Leadership Team is steadily growing at SIS whilst being increasingly involved in key events and even some curriculum initiatives too. Recently, our Digital Leaders have been supporting Year 8 InterD lessons as part of the Digital Citizenship Unit in which students are constructing websites to support the Laptop Induction process of their younger peers in Year 7. Later this term, Digital Leaders will once again work with Year 8 InterD students supporting the media literacy unit in which students are set a brief involving the construction of a short silent film. Equally Digital Leaders will be involved in the Laptop Induction evenings scheduled for later in October.

With the number of Adobe programmes offered to students throughout the school, Digital Leaders are busy preparing for term 2 during which we hope to offer a range of training courses in software programmes such as photoshop and premiere. This will be offered each Thursday evening in conjunction with a photography club and our existing coding club.

To spearhead this initiative, Karina Au and Samuel Bonnekamp have been elected to act as our head Digital prefects for the year ahead. Sam is a passionate advocate of coding languages and is in his third term of running our coding club. He is fluent in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and several other languages having attended the BSD coding academy in addition to his studies at SIS. Karina is the SIS representative as part of the ESF wide Computer Conference, which will take place for the second time at SIS in March 2019. Karina was one of only five students to score in the very top markband of our AFP Media course in years 10 and 11. She has outstanding skills in media literacy and has been heavily involved in the planning of several digital literacy initiatives to date.
