New Parents Info

1:1 MacBook and iPad Programmes

CDNIS is an Apple Distinguished School. The use of an iPad and MacBook is a core feature of our school's learning and teaching experience. All students in Grade 1 to 3 will use their own iPad, while students in Grade 4 to 12 will use their own MacBook.

Parents can purchase the iPad or MacBook from a store of their choice (e.g. Apple Store), or from the school's 1:1 programme partner, Senco-Masslink. Hardware purchases outside of Senco-Masslink would not be able to access the onsite hardware repair support with MacHub at the school.

Pre-Owned Device

Please note that we are accepting pre-owned iPads equivalent to the current recommended model (iPad Wi-Fi 6th-generation 128GB) to join the programme. We are accepting pre-owned MacBook equivalent to the current recommended model (13-inch with 256GB storage).  Pre-owned devices must be in working condition.  You can get hardware diagnostics for your devices at Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.  Please back up and sign out of Apple ID before the device is brought to school for set up.

Under normal circumstances, it is intended for security and safety reasons that the Grade 1-3 iPad will be stored at school and be sent home in the summer holiday. MacBooks in Grade 4-5 will be kept securely at School and be sent home in long holidays. Grade 6-12 take their MacBooks home daily. This arrangement is subject to review and parents will be notified with the changes.
