We have a compulsory Bring Your Own Device programme for students in Years 3-8. We highly recommend the purchase of Apple iPads. Please see 'Our BYOD Programme' if you would like more advice about this.
If you choose to purchase a new device (iPad or MacBook), many applications come with the device. It is important that you check the app store on the laptop to download free applications that come with a new device, particularly Pages, Keynote, iMovie, Clips and Garage Band (Numbers can also be downloaded for free though this is not regularly used).
Below you will find a list of the recommended apps for iPads that are used at school for the Junior School (Years 0-2) and the Middle/Senior School (Years 3-8). Some of these do have a small cost. You can directly access these at the iTunes Store by clicking on the icon accompanying each app. Please also note that as pods discover new apps to support learning throughout the year, they may request further apps be added to your child's device. We always endeavour to ensure that we use free apps where possible.
If you have questions about the applications or setting these up on your child's device, please contact:
