Technology & iPad Program

Mosman Prep is well-resourced in all areas of technology, including infrastructure, hardware, software, and staff training. Our comprehensive technology resources and learning programs are overseen by a full-time Director of Technology.

Technology is seamlessly integrated across all key learning areas from Kindergarten to Year 6. Every student has daily access to iPads, with full-sized keyboards provided for boys in Years 3 to 6. Students are taught to use a wide range of applications for word processing, presentations, movie-making, animation, coding, robotics, and effective research. Additionally, the school offers a variety of applications that complement literacy and numeracy topics taught in the classroom.

The school’s network—both wired and wireless—is fast, reliable, and accessible throughout the campus. An upgrade in January 2025 will further enhance the wireless network, supporting 1GB speeds and accommodating increased usage. The network is protected by a Palo Alto firewall and web filtering system, ensuring a safe and monitored online environment for students.

From Early Entry through Year 6, all classes receive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) instruction. Each student also has their own Google Education account, providing access to cloud-based applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Classroom. This allows students to create, edit, and collaborate easily with peers and teachers.

In 2025, Mosman Prep has fully transitioned to a school-managed iPad program for students in Years 4, 5, and 6. The Bring Your Own (BYO) iPad Program has been completely phased out. All students in these year groups will be provided with the latest iPad, managed by the school.

Parents will be charged an annual levy, with the option to own the iPad once their son completes his schooling at Mosman Prep. The school purchases iPads and accessories at discounted educational prices, which are passed directly onto families. This ensures all students have access to consistent, secure technology, pre-configured for learning and security requirements.

In addition, students from Early Education (EE) through Year 3 will have access to iPads as part of their classroom resources. Students in Years 3 to 6 also benefit from full-sized keyboards that connect to their iPads, enhancing productivity and providing a more versatile learning experience.

Mosman Prep continues to use the JAMF Mobile Device Management system to manage applications and enforce security settings, giving parents peace of mind and supporting a safe digital environment.
