Parents agree to purchase school specified iPad Apps to a maximum value of $50 per year. ($60 for Year 2 students)
Parents agree to sign the ICT usage agreement and permission to use third party applications that is sent to parents at the start of each school year.

The school owned iPads will have the same set of Apps as do the BYO iPads
The school will maintain fit for purpose ICT infrastructure that allows the program to operate and evolve. ICT requirements will comply with Department of Education policies and guidelines.
The school will actively support the program through the provision of on-going teacher development in the use and integration of iPads within the classroom.
The school develops common rules and practices to ensure safe iPad use and storage. This includes that iPads will only be used under direct teacher supervision.
