"Technology will not replace great teachers but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational."
George Couros
Students are strongly encouraged to have their own device. Should you consider purchasing a device we encourage devices that are adequate for school and classroom use. When considering a device we encourage you to consider a product that includes these features to ensure your daughter has the greatest possible access to the educational resources that will support and enhance learning. The type of device that you consider will also relate to the type of subjects that your daughter studies, particularly in the senior school and those nearing the end of their secondary schooling should look to tertiary requirements in their chosen field. Device configurations change regularly, as do prices. There are a wide range of suitable devices. We do not consider a tablet or a Chrome book suitable devices for secondary school.
