Digital Literacy

Digital Literacy at SACSS

At St. Anthony’s Canossian Secondary School, we are committed to developing students who are confident, critical and responsible users of technology. Guided by the Ministry of Education’s National Digital Literacy Programme and EdTech Masterplan 2030, our approach equips students with the digital competencies needed to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Our Approach: The FTAC Framework

Our digital literacy programme is anchored on the Find–Think–Apply–Create (FTAC) framework, which provides a structured and progressive approach to developing students’ digital skills and dispositions.

Learning Across the Curriculum

Digital literacy is integrated across the total curriculum, including subject-based lessons, Values Education, and Character and Citizenship Education (CCE). Anchored in the Ministry of Education’s framework of nine Digital Competencies, students develop skills in areas such as digital safety, information management, communication, and the responsible use of technology.

Through authentic learning experiences, students apply these competencies in real-world contexts, while developing strong values such as responsibility, respect and integrity in the online space.

Supporting Students’ Learning

Students are supported through curated Student Learning Space (SLS) self-paced modules, which strengthen key areas such as digital safety, information evaluation, and the ethical use of AI. Through these modules, students progressively develop competencies in managing online risks, evaluating the credibility of information, and engaging with digital technologies in a responsible, ethical and purposeful manner .

Developing Future-Ready Learners

Through this holistic approach, SACSS students grow to be responsible digital citizens and future-ready learners, equipped not only with technical skills but also with the judgment and values to navigate the digital world with confidence and purpose.

Our students are empowered to use technology purposefully - not just to consume information, but to create, collaborate and contribute meaningfully to society.
