Devices - Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we ask students to bring their own devices?

As the advancement of technology in our society continues to develop at an unprecedented pace, device ownership provides a range of benefits to our learners:

  • Empowered learning ownership at home and at school.
  • Easier access to collaborative tasks with peers outside of school.
  • A guided approach to device ownership in a classroom setting - to better prepare students for the transition to Senior School.

 

What does this programme mean for my child?

Your child will need to have their own 2-in-1 hybrid device before the start of the academic year.

 

What device and accessories should l purchase for my child?

We have minimum device requirements and accessories. The device should be a 2-in-1 laptop & tablet model with inking (writing) capabilities, front and rear-facing cameras and a stylus pen. This will allow students maximum flexibility to access all learning experiences, eg. Filming programming and inking (writing) directly into software such as Microsoft OneNote.

We highly recommend a Microsoft Windows device, as our lT department are able to offer specialized support.

iPads cannot be used as a student's main device in Senior School.
