EdTech Innovation at Wellington College International Hangzhou

This term, Wellington International Hangzhou has been buzzing with exciting advancements in education technology, setting the stage for a future-ready learning environment.  

We are proud to announce the selection of six new Digital Leaders from Year 1 to Year 6: Kristie (Y1), Oliver (Y2), Claire (Y3), Nick (Y4), Jenny (Y5), and Peter (Y6). These tech enthusiasts will participate in weekly workshops to expand their digital expertise and support their peers.  

Our new stop-motion movie competition launch has inspired creative thought across campus, with primary pupils being tasked with crafting 1-3 minute stop-motion films to be showcased on the big screen in the theatre. Parents will be invited to the awards ceremony after the deadline for submission which is set as Friday November the 8th. Workshops held in late September kickstarted this innovative project, giving pupils the skills to bring their ideas to life.  

Our newly launched computing curriculum focuses on four key strands: computer science, digital literacy, digital citizenship, and AI literacy. This future-thinking approach ensures pupils develop critical tech skills while staying current with the latest advancements.  

With the introduction of 1:1 devices, learning is being transformed. In Years 1-3, iPads and SeeSaw are driving engagement, while Surface Pros and Microsoft Teams in Years 4-6 are preparing pupils for their secondary education journey.  

Mark your calendars for 10th October 2024 from 08:00-09:00, when we will host "Innovate, Integrate, Inspire: EdTech & AI at Wellington International Primary"—a hands-on workshop giving parents the opportunity to experience the technology their children have access to. Invitations will be shared shortly, so keep an eye out for more details!  

These initiatives are shaping a vibrant digital landscape at Wellington, empowering our pupils to thrive in an ever-evolving tech world.
