Apple ID

​You will need to create an Apple ID for yourself and your child on the iTunes store. To learn how to do this visit: https://appleid.apple.com/.

Apps

Please note: It is highly important that all apps are installed on your child's iPad, including those which require payment.

We have aimed to keep the cost of apps to a minimum by selecting mainly free apps and choosing low-cost alternatives where we can. The total for 2023 is under $15.

To install apps on your child's iPad you will require an Apple ID which can be set up here.

You will also need to set up a child Apple ID. Instructions for this are here.

You will need to enter a payment method. This can be via credit or debit card or an iTunes Gift Card purchasable from supermarkets.

Once you have created an AppleID and set-up the iPad, use the Camera on the iPad to scan each QR Code (see here for help) and complete installing the software. Alternatively, if you visit this website the QR Codes can be tapped on the iPad screen to access the App Store.

Apps requiring payment have a red QR Code. Apps specifically for Year 3 only have a blue QR Code.

All parents of students attending Department of Education schools can contact Apple Support on 1300 760 237 and use PIN 2961 when prompted.

Use the QR Codes below to install apps. If viewing on your child's iPad QR CODES ARE CLICKABLE
