BYOD Program

The BYOD program allows students to bring their own personal computing device to school, for the purposes of assisting them with their learning.

Students will be able to connect their private device to the school's wireless network in order to access:

School email services
Filtered internet services

Access to the school's computer network is only provided if the mobile device meets the Department of Education's technical and security requirements.

Participation in the program

The program is required for all students (Year 7-12). Parents & guardians should read and understand the details included in the BYOD Student Charter.

What is required to participate in the program?

To participate in this program, students will need to provide their own device.

The school recommends a Windows laptop or 2-in-1 device. Minimum specifications are explained in the BYO Student Charter.

While they may not provide full access to all applications on the network, Apple Macbooks and iPads are still able to be used as part of the BYOD program. At this time, the department advices that Android tablets and devices are not able to be supported.

Process to become involved in the program

Students can download and install the necessary software to connect their device to the school network, from home (internet access will be required).

Instructions for downloading the software and configuring a device, can be found in the related links.

The Responsible Use Agreement Form (last page of the BYOD Student Charter), is to be completed and returned to the school's office, as part of each student's enrolment at the school.
