O If the iPad is damaged, lost or stolen at home, in transit or at school, I will ensure it is repaired or replaced as soon as possible. I understand that I must meet the cost of this.

O I will put in place consistent practices to ensure the safe carriage of the iPad to and from school.

2018 Program RequirementsO The iPad Air 2, Apple iPad (5th Generation) and the iPad Pro

(2016 and 2017) have been chosen for the BYO iPad Program, and will complement the learning with other ICT devices across the school.

O The earliest iPad versions (iPad 1, iPad2, iPad Mini, iPad Air) are not suitable for use in the school program as they are unable to load Apple’s operating system (IOS10) and many apps cannot be updated.

O This enables a consistent approach to ensure best productivity in order to maximise student-learning outcomes and provide technical support to students and parents when necessary.
