Technology at Mosman Prep

Technology is integrated across all key learning areas from Early Entry to Year 6. Boys have daily access to iPads, with full-sized keyboards provided for students in Years 3 to 6. Students are taught to use a range of applications for word processing, presentations, movie-making, animation, coding, robotics, research and creative learning.

The School also uses a range of applications to support literacy and numeracy topics taught in class. In partnership with a specialist provider, Mosman Prep delivers dedicated Digital Technologies programs for Stages 2 and 3, addressing 100% of the NSW and Australian Digital Technologies curriculum outcomes. Weekly lessons include robotics, electronics, coding, app design and website development.

Our wired and wireless network is designed to be fast, reliable and accessible throughout the School. The network is protected by a Palo Alto Networks firewall and web filter, helping ensure students work in a safely monitored online environment.

Students also use Google Workspace for Education, giving them access to secure cloud-based applications such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Classroom. These tools allow students to create, edit and share work with teachers and classmates in a school-managed environment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is introduced carefully and in age-appropriate ways. AI use at Mosman Prep is guided by school policy, teacher supervision and privacy considerations. Only school-approved AI tools are used with students, and teachers remain responsible for learning, feedback and assessment decisions.

The iPad Program

In 2026, Mosman Prep will have fully transitioned to a school-managed iPad program for students in Years 4, 5 and 6. The previous Bring Your Own iPad Program has been phased out, ensuring every student has access to a consistent, secure and fully managed learning device.

Students in Years 4 to 6 are provided with an iPad managed by the School. Families contribute through an annual technology levy, with the option to take ownership of the device once their son completes his schooling at Mosman Prep.

The School purchases iPads and accessories at education pricing, with these savings passed directly to families. Every device is configured with the applications, settings and security required for classroom learning.

Students from Early Entry to Year 3 also have access to iPads as part of their classroom learning. Students in Years 3 to 6 use full-sized keyboards with their iPads to support writing, research and productivity.

All school-managed iPads are configured and maintained using Jamf Mobile Device Management. This allows the School to deploy approved applications, manage settings and maintain consistent security across student devices.
