A re-elected McGowan Government will deliver $40,000 to purchase robotics technology for a whole class at Ocean Reef Primary School.

Ocean Reef Primary School is seeking to educate students in digital technologies and teach them to apply their learnings to real-world problems. 

This would inform and excite creative learning and challenge students to develop creative solutions in real world contexts. 

Having more of these technologies available to students will allow time to play and experiment with STEM.

The school is looking at purchasing specific tools and kits for Early Years and Years 5 and 6 to supplement existing technology packs.

Comments by Emily Hamilton MLA, Member for Joondalup:

“Education in digital technologies will equip students for jobs of the future.

“Having had my own children attend primary school locally, I am glad that projects such as this can be delivered for local schools.”
