As you would be aware Craigburn Primary School launched a voluntary BYO iPad program for students in Years 2 – 7 in early 2016. Throughout the program we have experienced many successes while also finding some challenges along the way.

There are currently over 250 students (Years 2-7) who have taken up the program and whose families have participated in parent information / induction sessions.

We have recently updated our BYO iPad Program for 2018 (click here) and are continuing to the implement the program across Years 2 – 7.

Parent Induction Sessions

• Induction sessions are designed for families of students in Years 2 – 7, who:
  • would like their child to participate in the program
  • whose child / children already participates – and would like a refresher course
  • would like their child to participate but have not yet purchased an iPad

• Induction sessions are offered on the following dates/times:
  • Friday 9th February – 9.00m – 10.00am – morning session – staffroom
