All classes in Totara and Pohutukawa teams operate with a BYOD Programme (Bring Your Own Device). Students are encouraged to bring their own iPads to school each day, and use these (under the guidance of their class teachers) to help support and enhance their learning. The links below link to the major apps used here at Everglade School on BYOD devices.
