Our online iPad purchase portal (via BCE preferred supplier, CompNow) is up and running. Click this link or the image below to browse the available iPad models and accessories.
Please note that all orders must be placed by 30th October to ensure delivery and distribution prior to the end of the school year.
There are two different models for you to choose from, each in two colours: The iPad Air 1 (32GB) or the iPad Air 2 (64GB). We have not provided any 16 GB options. Many current 1 to 1 parents are reporting difficulties with storing all necessary apps and data on 16 GB iPads. Since we launched the 1 to 1 program in 2013, there have been several major iOS upgrades. Each new operating system requires more memory and storage space and our requisite apps are constantly developing functions and features which require more memory. The school must now recommend that parents provide an iPad with at least 32 GB capacity.
You are under no obligation to purchase your child's iPad via this portal. You may source the iPad elsewhere or use any full size 32GB model (wifi only) with a battery that lasts through a school day.

Just wondering if this portal is working for anyone else? It's not giving any options once I've listed my child. It just says "The selected program / year level does not include any bundles.". Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your comment. Over the weekend, CompNow are implementing some changes we requested. We wanted you to be able to opt out of the 'bundle' which includes AppleCare+, so you can more easily make realistic comparisons between the education pricing offered for the iPads through CompNow and special 'runout' pricing offered by other retailers. Once the changes take effect, discounted AppleCare+ will be included as an optional extra rather than being bundled with the iPad. There will be other changes too, to make it easier and more flexible for you, but unfortunately the purchase portal will be offline while these are implemented. Thanks for your patience.
