Apple also provides a comprehensive guide to setting up Parent Controls on iPads and iOS devices. You can access it here: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201304  

If you are setting screen time and app limits, we do ask that any apps on Rangeview’s Whole School and Year Level app lists remain readily available and accessible during school hours.
