EMMAUS CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL IS AN APPLE DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL
“Apple Distinguished Schools are centres of innovation, leadership, and educational excellence that use Apple products to inspire creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. They showcase innovative uses of technology in learning, teaching, and the school environment and have documented results of academic accomplishment.”
In 2018, Emmaus was acknowledged for its creative use of technology by being recognised as an Apple Distinguished School.
In July 2019, records showed there were 450 Apple Distinguished Schools worldwide across 34 countries. In Australia, there were 38 Apple Distinguished Schools and in Victoria Emmaus was 1 of 5 schools with this recognition.
“The Apple Distinguished School program is by invitation only for schools that meet the current program qualifications. Recognition is for three years, with an opportunity to renew each invitation period. The invitation process starts with school leaders from public or private schools requesting an invitation to apply for recognition as an Apple Distinguished School. Requests are reviewed by Apple to ensure your school meets the necessary requirements. Qualified schools will receive an invitation to complete the application process.”
The staff team at Emmaus have all become accredited Apple Teachers and will work with representatives from Apple to continue to explore the possibilities of how to reach high levels of learning using technology, across a three year working partnership.
