Learning with iPads

Bomaderry High School is a bring your own device - iPad school. This means students are encouraged to bring a school approved iPad to school each day for educational purposes. Below, we outline the purpose, policies and procedures and requirements for school iPads.

Purpose

Bomaderry High School aims to deliver an innovative, efficient, informed, inclusive and connected school network to improve student growth and attainment, skills, engagement and opportunities for their future. This is underpinned by the NSW Government – Schools Digital Strategy and the NSW Department of Education School Excellence Framework. Teachers strive to expertly integrate technology into lessons and all staff are working towards being expert users of available technology and systems. The iPad was chosen as the preferred technology tool for Years 7-10.
