Attention: Year 4 Parents

Next week, year 4 parents will be required to complete a COMPASS Survey regarding the new School Managed iPad Program for Year 5, 2022. Last term, you received information about the change from Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program to the new School Managed iPad Program which we are moving to which has been recommended by the Catholic Education Office. 

As you may have seen in the media, Apple released a newer model of iPad during the school holidays. For this reason, the original option has been updated. You will be purchasing the following; 

iPad 9th Generation

64 GB Wifi

Applecare+

High Quality Cover (with an Apple pencil slot)

At this stage we have been quoted $566.20 including GST. It is important to note that the exact price won’t be confirmed until the end of November. This price is a better offer as previously we were offered an iPad 8th Generation 32 GB Wifi for the same price. You will pay off your iPad over a two year period.  

If you are experiencing significant financial difficulty and unable to purchase the iPad for your child, you must tick the second option of the survey. Mr Reardon, Mrs Roberts or Mrs Martin will be in contact with you to discuss this matter. 

It is extremely important for you to complete the COMPASS Survey immediately once it has been sent out so that we can place the iPad order and ensure devices are set up and ready for your child to use when they return to school in 2022.
