Can I purchase my own device for my child to use in school?
The school is using the Apple iPad (9 th Generation) for teaching and learning. If you would like to use
your own device rather than purchased through the school’s bulk tender, please ensure the device is
an Apple iPad which meet the following requirements:
- device should not be older than 4 years from manufacturing date
- battery should hold charge for at least 4 hours;
- comparable form factor to school’s bulk tender devices (e.g. touchscreen, physical keyboard,
Apple Pencil);
- comparable performance to school’s bulk tender devices
i. Processor: A10 Fusion or better
ii. Capacity: 32 GB or higher
iii. OS version: iPadOS14 or higher
iv. Screen Size: 10.0 to 11.9 inch (diagonal)
v. Resolution: 2048 x 1536 or higher resolution
vi. Wi-fi function should work and support at least IEEE 802.11 a/n/ac standard that uses
5GHz.
Your child is required to bring the device to school for assessment of suitability of device to
function as Personal Learning Device.
Once assessed as suitable, the school will install the DMA (Device Management Application) to
provide a safe learning experience and prevent misuse of the device.
