1:1 iPad Program for Year Three Students in 2023 – Parent Information

We are pleased to inform you that our 1:1 iPad program will continue into 2023. We would like to thank our Miners Rest families who attended our Parent Information Evening last Wednesday for our 1:1 iPad Program for Year Three Students in 2023.

 

The 1:1 iPad Program at Miners Rest Primary School, offers many benefits to students and helps to complement the already established teaching and learning programs.  The device will aid as a tool within the classroom, and as a means of increasing independence and engagement within various subject areas.  As students are already familiar with iPad operations, through their use during Foundation to Year Two, it will allow for an easy transition into the program.

 

To best support our 1:1 iPad Program for Year Three Students in 2023 we highly recommended that you and your child purchase an iPad over the coming months, to prepare for the program.  At Miners Rest Primary School, we recommend families purchase an iPad released in the last 18 months. The size and specifications of the iPad chosen is up to families, but iPads should be operating on iOS 16 or greater.  A hard screen protector and cover are also necessary to protect the device from regular use. 

 

More information will be provided to you by the following means:
