1:1 iPad Program
Our 1:1 iPad journey begins in 2017 with Year 4’s required to purchase an iPad for school use.
The perceived benefits for the students include:
- Greater engagement and increased motivation to learn.
- Internet access will be readily available from any classroom in the School.
- The iPad is a small lightweight device and therefore, easy to carry and to use at the students’ desks.
- The iPad is a tool that allows for greater personalisation and organisation of learning tasks.
- The use of the iPad as a collaboration tool in the classroom.

Over the past few years, we have been working collaboratively with the Catholic Education Office, other Catholic Primary Schools and Colleges exploring the use of iPads in the classroom and how they positively impact on teaching and learning. We have conducted two trials. One in Year 4 in 2014, and one in Year 6 in 2015. We are excited by this opportunity to enrich the learning of children at St Bernadette’s School. We have put together this FAQ information brochure to assist parents who have children entering Year 4 in 2017.
We hope that this FAQ will answer many of the questions that may arise in relation to the program.
