All students are expected to have their iPad at school everyday fully charged, with enough space to save class work and install apps and books for classes. Students must abide by the standards in the school's Student Code of Conduct and ICT Acceptable Use Agreement.
2027 Minimum Requirements
The minimum BYO iPad Program requirements are:
- Apple iPad (9th Generation or newer), iPad Air (4th gen or newer) or iPad Pro 11" (2nd generation or newer) or iPad Pro 12.9" (4th gen or newer)
- Minimum screen size of 10.2"
- Minimum 64GB storage capacity or larger
- iPadOS 27
- Apple Pencil or Logitech Crayon
- Protective Case / Cover
If you already have an iPad and want to double check if your model meets the minimum requirements, on the iPad, please open the "Settings app" > then click "General" > then click "About" > note the "Model name"
If you're still unsure what "generation" the iPad is - please do a google search asking (i.e iPad Air 11-inch M3 what generation?).
Any technical questions can be directed to it_department@fortitudevalleyssc.eq.edu.au
- Case with keyboard
- Screen protector
Wi-Fi / Cellular
Students may have a device with cellular connection capability; however, they will be required to access resources and internet through the school's Wi-Fi network while at school. A Wi-Fi only model will reduce the cost of the device without compromising the student's ability to complete school tasks.
Insurance
We strongly recommend that all personal electronic devices are insured against accidental damage, loss and theft. You can either:
- Include the iPad on your home and contents insurance policy
- Purchase Apple Care Plus or Accidental Damage Protection at time of purchase
- Contact an insurer that offers specific student device cover products
Purchasing Options
- Purchase from any retailer providing the iPad meets the school’s requirements.
- FVSSC families may purchase from the below retailer portals at Education prices. Please note, you are under no obligation to purchase from these retailers. These are just recommendations.
