BYOD Laptop Policy Update: iPads Officially Reclassified as 'Cooked'

Term 1, Week 6 · iCentral Memo, forwarded to The Bulletin

iCentral has issued a revised Bring-Your-Own-Device policy effective from the start of Term 2. The update reflects current device capability requirements across the Senior School, particularly for HSC subjects with significant digital workflow.

The principal change: 2019-and-earlier iPads have been officially reclassified as "cooked". Students attempting to take HSC notes on such devices do so at their own risk. iCentral cannot guarantee that GoodNotes will continue to open before the end of a 40-minute period.

Recommended specifications include 16GB of memory, a current-generation processor, and a battery that holds charge for longer than the walk between Maths and English. iCentral accepts that this third criterion eliminates approximately 60% of currently-deployed devices.

Students are reminded that iCentral is not, contrary to recent suggestions, a counselling service. "It said it had four minutes left and now it's off" is a hardware question; "why does anything matter" is not. The queue at iCentral on Monday mornings is, however, where these two questions most frequently meet.

The policy will be reviewed at the conclusion of Term 2 or the next CAS first round, whichever causes more disruption.
