iPad and Laptop Programs
Middle Park State School has successfully implemented 1:1 Device Programs for many years with devices used as tools for learning across subject areas. From 2027, BYOD iPads will be used in Years 4-5 and BYOD laptops in Year 6. Our Year 3 students will commence in our 'school-owned' device program where parents will pay a yearly SRS hire fee for the use of the iPad which will include case, screen protector and all apps downloaded. Our Prep to Year 2 students share pods of iPads as required.
The following documents have been revised for the 2027 school year to encompass both laptop and iPad use.
For our Year 4-6 families, if a suitable device already exists at home, you are welcome to use this (see minimum specifications for both iPads and Laptops). Where a new device is needed, these can be purchased from any office, audio-visual or department store. Additionally, we have set up a vendor portal listing suitable models with the following retailer:
Learning With Technologies (LWT) - Laptops and iPads portal
Please note you are under no obligation to purchase from this retailer.
We urge families to purchase devices early as there can be low stock numbers coming from overseas creating lengthy delays.
Extensive information about both our Laptop and iPad Programs can be found under the appropriate headings on this page. If after viewing these files you have further questions, they can be directed to: byox@middleparkss.eq.edu.au
