2026 BYOD PROGRAM - INFORMATION SESSION FOR YEAR 2 PARENTS AND CARERS

Dear parents and carers,

We are very excited to be writing to you about the BYOD (bring your own device) program at St Cecilia’s.

We have worked with LWT (Learning With Technologies), a technology in education specialist provider, to set up our BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Program.

The program will mean that students will have their own chromebook device that they will be responsible for and will be able to use both at school and at home.

The devices will still remain managed under the school’s Google Education domain, which will allow for the school to help ensure safe and appropriate use of the devices.

The program was introduced in 2022 for the year 3 students and has continued to roll out over the past 3 years. Next year all students from year 3-6 will have their own device.

We are requiring that families of any student going into Year 3 next year (Current Year 2 parents), purchase a device before the end of the year so that it can be set up and ready to use on day one 2026.

We are confident that this program further enhances our students ability to engage in learning about digital technology and access resources related to all areas of the curriculum.

Parent Information Session

On Thursday September 11, between 6:00pm and 7:00pm we will be hosting an online parent information session which will outline the rationale for the program, the ordering process and device options and specifications.

During the session, I will present the school’s policies and processes, while Kevin from LWT will outline the ordering and support process.

Please note, if for any reason no parent or carer is able to make it to the live session, a recording of the session will be made available.

We look forward to seeing you online during the session. The link for the meeting and an RSVP form will be sent out early next week.

Kind regards,

Matthew Mooney
