Being a BYOD school

We are a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) school. Your child needs to have a device for learning to bring to school.
That means that all of our courses at every level have an online component and devices are used by students on a daily basis to access learning activities and resources.

Why BYOD?

We need to be a school that offers a combination of online and face to face learning for every course so that we are agile in changing circumstances, like Covid-19. All teachers use eLearning as part of their course and therefore every student needs to have access to a device.

Digital technology is a vital component of learning to enable our students to be work-ready when they leave school.

Access to a Device

To access a loan device you will need:

• $50 bond repaid to you on return of the device (eftpos is available)
• Community services card
• Loan agreement signed by a parent or guardian(available here or from accounts)

The ideal device for school use:

• Lightweight, but robust for daily use
• Has a protective carry case
• 4+ hours of battery power
• Has built in wireless capability
• Has Google Chrome as it’s default web browser
• Has 2+ USB ports tor expansion and connectivity
• Has anti-virus / anti-spyware protection
• Google Apps for Education capability

You DO NOT need to purchase the Microsoft Office suite – this is provided by the school.
