2  In 2013 after much research and community consultation, St. Brigid’s implemented a Bring Your Own iPad Program in for our Year 3 to 7 students.  In 2014 it was decided that Year 2 students would have the opportunity to participate and bring their iPads in for 1 day of each week.

3  The iPad program is a voluntary program in which students can bring their iPads into school as a tool to assist their learning.  Over 70% of our students in Year 3 to 7 participate in the program.  School iPads are available for students who do not have their own iPads
