Digital Communications Department

With electives courses like Computer Applications, students will gain practical technological and communication skills.

A current working knowledge of modern technology will allow students to develop a disciplined understanding of contemproary media trends and skills evermore necessary in our digital world.

The range of courses offered by the Digital Communications Department help students explore communication in various visual and print forms.

Students will develop the ability to assess various ways of communicating and acquiring information so that they can choose the most appropriate for a particular circumstance. 

The focused hands-on training of these courses helps to form students into knowledgeable, responsible and effective communicators.

Here at Frassati Catholic High School, beyond technical skills, our courses will teach students how to identify the aspects of our culture which can and have been transformed effectively through technology and media.

By recognising the impact that media can have on society and the individual, students will have a greater understanding of how they should use technology and media to spread truth, goodness, and beauty.

Although Pier Giorgio Frassati did not have access to digital technology, he understood the power of effective communication.  He made good use of modes available to him—letters, speeches, posters, newspapers--to influence political opinion, student groups, and the lives of his friends. 

Through the courses offered in the Digital Communications and Media Arts Department, students will be given the opportunity to follow in Pier Giorgio's example and actively use technology and media to lift our culture up to what is true, good and beautiful.
