Students will need to have a device in their possession each school day in order to maximise participation in the learning opportunities and activities presented in their classroom.
The College prefers an iPad (must be iOS 14 or above), however any Laptop/tablet running Windows 10 Home or Pro can also be supported by the College network.

  • Android devices and iPad Mini are not supported.
  • Second-hand and reconditioned devices are acceptable.
