Ferny Hills State School understands that every family is different and financial access to a device may differ. As such, we accept a variety of iPad models utilising the latest operating system (iOS 26 at time of print) which enables installation of the most recent applications. This minimum requirements list allows families to choose to send with their child a device already owned or purchased second hand. As all devices must be subject to the filtering of our internet system we do not accept cellular models.
| Device Name | Wi-Fi Model | Cellular (3G) | Storage Sizes |

Please note if buying an iPad, we recommend purchasing the newest model available. Purchase of this device ensures that the life of the device will endure over the remaining years of primary school.
All storage sizes are supported in our iPad program – 64GB, 128GB and 256GB. Note that any personal applications and content placed on the device may interfere with the storage requirements for school use.
