iPads at School for Years 5 - 6 (optional)
iPads at School for Years 7-12 (required)
St Joseph’s School designs its curriculum to prepare students for learning in the 21st century. The use of an iPad will greatly enhance student learning as they begin their journey into secondary schooling. Teachers have also changed their lessons to accommodate the ever-changing nature of information.
iPads are individual devices. Each student will be required to have their own iPad at school from the commencement of Week 1, Term 1, for that school year.
Parents have the option of:
- Providing an iPad from home individual school use (subject to appropriate specifications)
- Buying an iPad from any store.
- Buying or leasing an iPad through an outside source- contact the school for more details
Minimum Specifications for iPads at school should be:
- 4th Generation iPad or newer (Not an iPad Pro or iPad Mini).
- 32GB or greater.
- Protective case (recommended - STM Dux or Otterbox Unlimited for iPad Air)
- We would prefer the iPad to be non-cellular for school use.
- Older iPads below the minimum requirements will not be suitable for school use
Please Note:
The school is not responsible for any damage or loss to your child’s iPad. Students are to become responsible managers and take every care and precaution when using their iPads. Parents/guardians are encouraged to make arrangements on their household policies to cover theft, damage or replacement of iPads.
