As has been publicised previously, Dalyellup Primary School will continue with the parent funded 1 : 1 iPad program for the Year 4, 5 & 6 classes.
Information sessions have been held in term 4 for parents of Year 3 students in preparation for their participation in the Program in year 4.
In 2024 we are encouraging our year 3 students to bring their own iPad to school in term 3. An information session will be held in the middle of the term.
For further information about the Program, please contact the school office.
The iPad has become an educational tool in your child’s toolkit to help meet curriculum requirements alongside (rather than instead of) more traditional tools like textbooks, pencils and paper. It is important to note that traditional methods of education such as writing in exercise books, etc., will not be replaced by the iPad, but rather complimented by the device.
We have seen many successes across a range of Learning Areas since the introduction of the 1:1 iPad program, which has been supported by our own testing data along with our NAPLAN results. An increase in engagement and extension into student learning has also occurred as a result of the use of the iPad device in classrooms.
