Technology at home

There are always questions that arise about the use of technology at home.

Apple has more family information to help on its Families page.

Apps

Firstly, please note that the iPad comes preloaded with a range of useful apps, go here to explore their functionality.

The following list contains the required St Leonard’s College Core iPad apps for students in year 3 and year 4.

It is expected that families will use Family Sharing or purchase iTunes cards to cover the cost of these required apps for students.
