iPads

In line with our commitment to providing modern, engaging, and efficient educational opportunities, we require all students to have access to an iPad to support their learning. These will be used for a variety of tasks, including research, completing assignments, and accessing educational platforms, all of which are integral to their academic success.

 
We are offering the option to purchase an iPad through the school, to be delivered to Year 7 students during the first weeks of the academic term in September.  We understand that not every family may wish to purchase a brand-new device, however it is important that whatever device you choose has the ability to be regularly updated and remain compatible with the latest monitoring software and educational tools. Below are details of the specification we are looking to purchase.
 
  • iPad (11th generation)
  • 11-inch iPad Wi-Fi 128GB - Silver without 20W adapter included
