Bring Your Own Device  (BYOD

In 2025, StMM’s will be introducing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for students in Years 3 to 6. This initiative is designed to enhance your child's learning experience by providing consistent access to technology, fostering digital literacy and enabling personalised learning opportunities.

In the coming weeks, we will be sending out detailed information regarding the BYOD program, including guidelines on purchasing devices. 

To ensure a smooth transition, it is recommended that families of students in year five and six  consider purchasing the same devices that our high school students currently use, as this will provide continuity in their learning journey and the device can be used in high school. 

We appreciate your support as we implement this program and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our students' education.
