At St Joseph’s Nudgee College, we recognise that preparing young men for the future requires both embracing innovation and holding

steadfast to the values and methods that have shaped generations of learners at Nudgee College. Significant advances in technology that include AI, offer remarkable opportunities to enhance learning, personalise feedback, and expand access to resources. However, our focus remains on ensuring these tools serve to strengthen, not replace the connection between our teachers and students.

Guided by the College’s AI Committee, we integrate digital platforms, AI-assisted tools and collaborative online resources into lessons, while maintaining the routines, relationships, and values that have shaped Nudgee for generations. Intentional use of technology seeks to support, not dictate our curriculum, thereby ensuring that our students engage deeply with content, develop critical thinking, and build interpersonal skills essential for life beyond school. Our involvement in the Catholic Education Network’s CeChat Pilot, along with resources like AI for Smart Teachers and a forthcoming Nudgee specific platform, equips staff to embed AI meaningfully in the classroom.

By balancing cutting-edge tools with the traditions of academic expectations, strong routines, and values-based education, we create a learning environment where each boy can thrive.
