Technology and Devices

With our integration of technology in our learning, we are able to offer a seamless transition between learning at school and at home.

The school provides access to desktop computers, laptops, iPads, cameras, and various online resources. Access to all these devices and resources is regarded as a privilege and not a right and any misuse that occurs inside or outside of school will result in a consequence.

Please note that students in Grades 9–12 are still expected to bring their own laptop device to school each day.

For full details, refer to the Student Technology Grades 9–12 policy below.

You will also find further details about our Mobile Phone Policy and Guideline.

Pre-K to Grade 8 - Technology devices

In Lower School and Grades 5-8 of Upper School, iPads are provided to students for school work. Students are expected to treat their devices with extreme care. Students should report any loss, damage, or malfunction to the IT Office immediately. Families are financially accountable for any damage resulting from negligence or misuse. If an iPad is lost or stolen, the police should be contacted and the specific incident number given to the IT office. Any member of staff can ask to look at or check any device at any time.

WiFi is available for all managed school devices. All internet activity on student iPads attached to the ACS Managed V2 WiFi network is monitored and filtered for student safety.

All students from Grades 5-12 will be requested to sign an Acceptable Use Agreement for Technology on PowerSchool at the start of the 2025/2026 Academic Year.

Mobile Phone Policy

The school permits the use of personal wearable devices, mobile phones, tablets etc. on the school premises.

Access to these is regarded as a privilege and not a right and any misuse will result in a consequence. For students up to Grade 10, personal devices must be kept in a locker and are not to be used during the school day between 8.30am- 3.30pm. In Grades 9-12, students must not use personal devices during class unless instructed to do so in special circumstances.

The school is not responsible for the loss, damage or theft of any personal device. Users are responsible for ensuring that all personal devices brought into school have no inappropriate or illegal content on the device. At no time are any portable devices to be used in any bathroom or changing room.

Personal portable electronic equipment with cameras should not be seen or used in pavilion 3 (the early childhood area building) unless there are exceptional circumstances; e.g. parents photographing special events, presentations in the classroom.

ACS will not tolerate the use of any technology for illegal, offensive or inappropriate activities and any incidents will lead to consequences. The school cannot legislate for every eventuality and therefore cannot provide an exact consequence for each incident.
