Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
We have a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for Year 7 to Year 12 students. This allows a greater level of flexibility in each students' learning, providing them with the opportunity to choose the device that best suits their needs.
Students in Prep to Year 6 are not required to provide their own device. A school-issued device will be provided to them for the purposes of their school.
Students in Year 7 through to Year 12 are required to have a laptop to support their studies. You may purchase a device that best suits your child's learning needs in either of the following ways:
Option A: Purchase a device through Brilliant Technologies, a local IT company. Devices available through Brilliant Technologies have been approved by the College and offer onsite hardware support, a 3-year extended warranty and accidental damage cover (T&C apply).
Option B: Purchase a device through your preferred supplier that meets the minimum specifications required. Devices purchased from other suppliers will receive general ICT support with all repairs and maintenance needed to be directed through the place of purchase.
