COMMUNICATION - Year 8 Device Swap
Dear Parents
On Wednesday 27, Thursday 28 and Friday 29 November 2024, your son will be returning his current Scotch iPad and receiving a new MacBook M3, which he will use throughout Year 9 and Year 10. The device is covered by AppleCare+, which provides protection against damage at a cost per incident.
iPad Swap Preparation
Prior to the day, your son will need to:
- Update their iPad to the latest iOS
- Move all files from their iCloud to OneDrive
- Backup their iCloud (this should be automatic when plugged in overnight and connected to WIFI)
On the day, your son will need to bring:
- Current iPad in good condition in its original case (Logitech Keyboard and Trackpad)
- Apple Pencil
- Correct Apple power adapter and Apple USB-C cable
If there are chargeable repairs, you will receive an email from the Tech Centre. If you have any concerns or questions relating to the 2024/2025 iPad/laptop changeover, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Tech Centre.
As students move into Year 9, they are expected to be independent in the use of digital technologies. As such, it is important to be aware of expectations and features open to students with their devices as outlined below. On the day of the swap, ILT Education Specialists will work with students to introduce the device, features and expectations.
