📱iPads
When students begin at HTS, they are issued with an iPad, an Apple Pencil, and a protective case. There is no initial charge for these items. However, if any of the equipment is lost or damaged, you will be responsible for the cost of replacement or repair.
The iPad remains the property of the school and must be returned if your child leaves HTS. In the event that an iPad is stolen, you must provide the school with a police crime reference number.
Full details about the iPad programme can be found in the Acceptable Use Policy linked below. This document answers many common questions, so please read it carefully and ensure you are familiar with the information.
The page also explains what to do if a student iPad is damaged, outlines expectations for student use and parental responsibilities, and includes the school’s recommended replacement accessories.

Apple Charger Replacement⚡
The school also cannot provide replacement chargers. As our 9th Generation iPads use Lightning ports, any replacement chargers or cables must support Lightning connections.
For chargers, we recommend the official Apple USB-C 20W power adapter and Apple USB-C to Lightning cable, as they provide fast and reliable charging.
