Lollypop Creek Primary School is a 21st Century School that provides all students with the opportunity to engage with technologies that enhance their learning whilst educating our students to be safe, responsible and discerning users of digital technologies. 

Please be aware that the Department of Education has introduced changes to the use of digital devices for students in Year Prep to 6 from 2027. Please see a one-page Digital Devices Policy overview attached.

This means we will be ceasing our current BYOD program for Grades 2-6 from 2027 on. Instead, we will provide class sets of digital devices for shared use by students. Students who have been using BYO devices prior to 2027 will be able to continue to bring their devices to school, but we will be following the new recommended device use times.

Next year our Year 2 - 6 families continue to have the option to equip their child with an iPad which should be brought to school, fully charged every day.

These can be either an iPad Mini or full-sized iPad which, we advise, is within 4 years of age.

The minimum requirements are an “iOS 17 compatible” or “iPad 6th Generation” onwards, however, if you are purchasing a new device, we recommend 2023 iPad models 9th, 10th or 11th Generation such as iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad or iPad Mini. For storage purposes – minimum storage of 64GB is recommended so that your child can store photos and videos as well as their schoolwork. 

If parents are looking to purchase a new iPad, please be advised our school has established a connection with JB Hi Fi who can provide advice, guidance and support to ensure you select and purchase the most appropriate device. This information will be emailed via COMPASS to all our Year 3-6 families and is also available on COMPASS under ‘School Documentation’.
