iPad Program at Nundah State School
At Nundah State School, digital technologies are one of the many tools we use to support high-quality teaching and learning. iPads are used purposefully and in age-appropriate ways to enhance learning experiences across the curriculum.
Transitioning to a School-Owned iPad Program
From 2027, Nundah State School will begin a phased transition from our existing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program to a school-owned iPad model.
Students already participating in our existing BYOD iPad program will continue under their current arrangements as they progress through Years 4–6.
The new school-owned 1:1 iPad Hire Program will commence with Year 4 students in 2028 and progressively extend through Years 5 and 6.

Under the new arrangements, Year 3 students will have access to shared, school-owned class sets of iPads at no cost to families. From Year 4, students entering the school-owned 1:1 iPad Hire Program will have access to iPads, with families contributing to the cost through the Student Resource Scheme (SRS), rather than purchasing an iPad outright.
The transition will be completed in 2030, when the existing BYOD program will be fully phased out.

How iPads Support Learning
At Nundah State School, iPads are used as a learning tool alongside explicit teaching, books, handwriting, practical activities and collaborative learning experiences.
Teachers make purposeful decisions about when technology will enhance learning and when other approaches are more appropriate.
As students progress through primary school, opportunities to use technology across the curriculum increase. Our approach supports students to develop digital skills, independence and responsible technology habits while maintaining a balanced range of learning experiences.
