The school's strong focus on technology includes internet access in every classroom, interactive whiteboards/LED touchscreen TVs, tablets, and computers, ensuring students are taught to be digitally responsible citizens. Additionally, Gorokan Public School provides various support services through its School as Community Centre (SACC), aiding families with children aged from birth to eight years. This service fosters connections between families and local organisations.
