Technology Requirements

The college has a technology-rich environment based on a streamlined Apple-only infrastructure. In Years 7 and 8, students are required to purchase an iPad and Apple Pencil, allowing them to access the interactive online classroom developed by the college.

Students in Year 9 are able to use a MacBook and/or an iPad. Some students in subjects such as Media, Gaming and Photography find that using a MacBook is a more effective tool as they begin to acquire IT skills that prepare them for Senior Years subjects. 

Students in the Middle Years are required to purchase a small number of essential apps and apps that are subject-specific. They are encouraged to set up their own Apple ID and use Apple Gift Cards to purchase apps. Alternatively, parents can set up family sharing via iCloud and iTunes. 

In the Senior Years, students are asked to purchase an Apple laptop. This gives students a more powerful device that enables them to deal with the increased workload and provides them with a greater range of learning tools. 

In preparation for their studies each year, students should download all essential apps listed in the booklist they receive via the Campion website. They will be advised if they need to download additional subject-specific apps throughout the year.
