In 2017, full enrolment into the ZuluDesk management system will be compulsory for all students. In order to be ready to go at the start of 2017, if families have an existing iPad or have already purchased an iPad, parents are asked to bring the iPad into school for enrolment in term 4 this year. iPads can be left at the office in the morning and collected in the afternoon on these days.
Dates for ZuluDesk enrolment areTuesday 15th NovemberTuesday 22nd November
The process of enrolment includes updating iPad software, renaming, allocating to a year level and linking to parent ZuluDesk accounts.
As all settings and data will be erased during the enrolment process, the school asks that new iPads are left ‘as purchased’ and not set up in any way. If families are using an existing iPad, please follow the links below to backup data and ensure that iCloud is turned off on the iPad.
