Essential Apps 2026 Lists

Every student in Years 5 to 8 at Beaconhills College is required to bring an iPad in good working order to classes (with the latest iPadOS and a battery that will last all day) as well as a collection of apps that the students will need for their classes.

It is imperative that ALL these apps, regardless of cost, are installed by the start of the year and not wait until they are needed.

Students in Years 9-12 are able to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and will need to ensure they install apps that suit their choice of device.
