BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)
Our aim is for every student to develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills, practices and attitudes necessary in a progressively digital environment.
Remote Learning in 2020/21 has clearly shown the disparity in the technology accessible to our students. We are committed to embracing the opportunities that digital technology provides to our students in their future endeavours and aspirations and believe that a program where students have access to the same technology and support will greatly enhance their skills, access and practices necessary in a progressively more digital environment.
As responsible users of technology, students can be safe online and gain the greatest benefit from the opportunities provided when using digital technologies in the classroom. Safe and responsible behaviour is explicitly taught at the College and parents/carers are requested to reinforce this behaviour at home.

- Developing essential life skills. There is a greater need to be technologically savvy beyond school
- Access to new and varied information, ideas and viewpoints
- Additional support and information to assist learning
- Training in appropriate and safe use of their devices
- Development of modern and authentic learning experiences
- Access to a greater array of free software through the Edustar image – this enables a teacher to confidently arrange a lesson knowing students will have the required program
