2024 iPad Program Information Night Tonight

Our 2024 iPad Program information night will be held tonight in D1 at 5:00pm. Parents of current Year 2 students are invited to come along, as these students will be a part of the program as Year Three students in 2024. Our information night will provide details about the program and recommended device specifications, and provide an opportunity to answer any questions that you might have. A follow-up letter will be sent out to families with all relevant information. We look forward to seeing you there.
