Note: This configuration should only apply to student iPads after they have been enrolled and configured to school network.
As the enrollment process will wipe the device and you might need to re-install it again.

We recommend all parents and students to activate Find my iPad feature which will help to tracking the device for better
protection of your iPads.

Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap on iCloud
Tap on Find My iPhone.
Turn On the option for Find My iPad.
Turn ON the option for Send Last Location.
b. How to use Find My iPhone/iPad
Option1: on the web (using a PC or Mac)
You can also easily track for your missing iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac on the web via iCloud.com. It's as easy as following
these steps:
1. Go to iCloud.com in any web browser.
2. Log into your iCloud account.
3. Click on Find my iPhone in the main menu.
4. Click on All Devices at the top.
5. Click the device name for the device you'd like to track.
You can zoom in and out on the map to track it more closely, or you can choose from one of the modes listed in the upper
right. Here is an explanation of what each does:
Play sound - Plays an audible tone, even if your device is on vibrate or silent. This is the option you'll want to use if
your iPhone or iPad has gone missing around the house.
Lost mode - If you use this option, you'll be asked to enter a phone number that will display on the screen of your lost
device. Someone can then use this number to call if they find the device. An audible tone will also be played to draw
attention to the device.
Erase - If you don't think you're going to be able to retrieve the device, or you're worried about someone accessing
your private data, you can remotely delete everything on it in order to protect your information.
Option 2: on an iPhone or iPAd
Not only can you track a lost iPhone, iPad, or Mac on the web, you can also download the free Find My iPhone app (FREE)
from the App Store if you don't already have it installed.
Launch the Find My iPhone app from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. Log in with your iCloud ID.
2. Tap on the name of the device you'd like to track.
3. Pinch and zoom in order to view the map more closely, or tap on Actions at the bottom to see your options.
Here you have the same 3 options you have in the web view of iCloud: Play Sound, Lost Mode, and Erase
Play sound - Plays an audible tone, even if your device is on vibrate or silent. This is the option you'll want to use if
your iPhone or iPad has gone missing around the house.
Lost mode - If you use this option, you'll be asked to enter a phone number that will display on the screen of your lost
device. Someone can then use this number to call if they find the device. An audible tone will also be played to draw
attention to the device.
Erase - If you don't think you're going to be able to retrieve the device, or you're worried about someone accessing
your private data, you can remotely delete everything on it in order to protect your information.
Parental Restrictions
As the iPad usage agreement, Werribee Secondary College will monitor and filter the iPad content from 8AM to 5PM every
school day. Outside this time frame, except for special requests for school to take full control of the iPad, parents will manage
students’ iPad usage. iOS provide some really good features which parents can also enable to set restrictions on an iPhone,
iPad, or iPod touch to prevent access to specific features. For example, you can restrict explicit music from displaying on
playlists, prevent the installation of certain apps, limit the access to social network Apps or block access to games.
To set Restrictions: Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions.
We strongly encourage you to review the steps below and set restrictions on your student’s device and all other Apple
devices your student uses. Remember that Restrictions are specific to the device on which they are set, so you must set
Restrictions on each device your student uses.
You’ll be asked to set a Restrictions passcode that allows changes to the settings you make. Important: This passcode is
different from the passcode for unlocking your student’s iPad. This is a passcode that only you, and not your student, should
know.
You can set restrictions for the following items:
-
-
Safari—Disables the Safari app and removes its icon from the Home screen. Safari cannot be used to browse the web.
Camera—Disables the Camera app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The device’s camera cannot take
pictures. Disabling the camera automatically disables FaceTime and other apps that use the camera, such as Photo
Booth.
FaceTime—Disables the FaceTime app and removes its icon from the Home screen. FaceTime calls cannot be made or
received.
iTunes Store—Disables the iTunes Store app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The iTunes Store cannot be
browsed and music and other media cannot be purchased.
iBookstore—Disables the iBooks app and removes its icon from the Home screen. The iBookstore cannot be browsed
and books cannot be purchased.
Installing Apps—Disables the App Store and removes its icon from the Home screen. Apps cannot be installed.
Deleting Apps—Prevents apps from being deleted.
Siri—Disables Siri.
Explicit Language—Siri remains enabled but will attempt to replace explicit words with asterisks and beep sounds.
- Restricting allowed content
You can set age-appropriate restrictions, prevent in-app purchases, or require a password for purchases.
- Ratings—Content that doesn’t meet the rating you select won’t appear on iPad.
In-App Purchases—Prevents the purchase of additional content or functionality for apps downloaded from the App Store.

Require Passwords—In-App Purchases remains enabled, but an Apple ID must be entered for in-app purchases after
the time period you specify.
-
Turning off access to private information—You can establish privacy settings for Contacts, Calendars, Reminders,
Photos, Bluetooth Sharing, or Twitter and Facebook accounts (if they exist). For each category of information, you can
disable any app’s ability to access it. Review the terms and privacy policy for each third-party app to understand how it
uses the requested data. You can lock these settings to prevent changes.
