1-1 Device Portal
Welcome to the 1-1 Device portal for Wodonga South Primary School.
The past few years have shown just how crucial devices in education are – especially during remote learning. Students have been able to connect with their teachers and peers in ways previously unseen in education, collaborating and producing work in brand new virtual classroom environments.
These new digital learning spaces have radically changed the way educators and students work together, providing a seamless solution to being both on and offsite. Students who have used their own devices though the school’s optional 1-1 program have had a near flawless transition to this new environment.
Wodonga South Primary School is not allowed to bundle warranties or accessories with devices – instead we can provide options to parents / guardians and make recommendations. Below each device for the 2024 program is a recommendation of what warranty and accessories the school believes to be appropriate.
The Device Program is only for Year 5/6 Students.
2024 Devices
Apple iPad 10.2 (9th Gen) || 10.9 (10th gen)
64GB / 256 Space Grey – purchase via JB HiFi for Education
The Apple iPad is a small, versatile and easy to use touch based device.
The iPad runs all the software that students use at the school, like Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Minecraft for Education Edition and much more.
The school strongly recommends “AppleCare +” as it provides repair or replacement coverage, both parts and labour, from Apple-authorised technicians. AppleCare+ must be purchased within 60 days of the original purchase date of the iPad.
JB HiFi for Education offers protective cases through the portal, though parents / guardians can purchase their own elsewhere if desired.
The school strongly recommends any protective case that includes a keyboard. A physical keyboard allows students to work on their documents faster than using the on-screen keyboard.
When purchasing an iPad from JB HiFi, it will be shipped directly to you.
To use the iPad on premises at Wodonga South Primary School, it will need to be enrolled onto our system. This allows the school to restrict inappropriate content, install new apps and configure settings that are conducive to your child’s learning in the classroom.
All data on the iPad will be wiped during this process. Please sign out of any accounts and back up anything you wish to keep.
School Code (for parents): WSPSBYOD2024

The Lenovo 13w Yoga Gen 2 has more processing power and a larger screen. It can also fold into a tablet. A perfect device for more intensive tasks.
