School iPad program
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a school program that allows students from years 3 to 6 to bring their own iPad to school and use in the classroom as an additional learning tool.
BYOD information is available here to download.
BYOD iPads support:
- critical and creative thinking
- using tools for learning
- interactive apps and simulations
- accessing information
- personalised learning
Before bringing your device to school
- Ensure that a signed ICT acceptable use agreement has been returned to school.
- Setup an AppleID for your child following these instructions – Family Sharing and Apple ID for your child
- Remove any SIM cards or disable cellular connectivity, and switch off all messaging services where possible.
- Update the device to the latest iPadOS
- Enable “Find My” to enable tracking/remote wipe in case the device is lost or stolen. This also enables Apple’s Activation Lock , meaning that a stolen device can only be used again by entering the owner’s AppleID username/password; this acts as a theft deterrent.
The school does not provide repairs/support for BYOD devices. If the device is broken or malfunctioning it is up to the owner to resolve these issues. Please make yourself familar with our BYOD Policy for further conditions.
