School device & booklist requirements for Junior, Middle and Senior Years.
Laptop Requirements Years 4 to 12
Our program aims to allow students to own devices that will enable them to participate fully in the educational opportunities offered at St Hilda’s School. At the same time, we are mindful of the economic impact of these decisions on parents, and we strive to allow flexibility in our 1:1 program to enable us to adapt to the ever-changing environment. Below are our recommended minimum requirements.
