BYOD Apps for 2025
Everglade School Leaf

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.

Teachers ask that school apps are not contained within any folders. Rather the apps are placed in the layout above so students can easily search and find an app.
