Parent iPad in Education Evening – Wednesday 13 th June<br />

With so much technology available for education it is important that parents are informed about the<br />

advantages and limitations of the various devices. In the Senior <strong>School</strong> we have been trialing 10 iPads, which<br />

have assisted with the learning and engagement of some of our Year 7 and 8 students. This trial could be<br />

expanded in both the Prep and Senior schools for 2013.<br />
