BYOD, is a technology trend in the education and corporate environments worldwide.

Students are more comfortable using their personal device and  become expert at using it, making them more productive.

Our program is designed to give students and families the freedom to make technology choices that suit them and all their circumstances. 

The school network and internet are filtered, providing a safe environment for students.

All students in Years 5 - 10 are required to bring their own device to school every day charged and ready to work.
