BYOD (Yr 11-13)

BYOD

BYOD (BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE) applies to all students in Years 9-13. Here are some recommendations for parents.

We strongly recommend a Windows based laptop running Windows 11. Chromebooks and iPads have limited value within the system.

If students are likely to be needing the laptop through to Polytechnic or University they may want to look at a more powerful 1#-15 processor but even the Year 13 Statistics students manage quite well with basic processors (Celeron etc) as the main demands are word processing, e-mail, spreadsheets and internet based programmes requiring only good connectivity.

Ex lease units are available at good prices from several re-sellers but, if buying new you might consider a solid state drive (storage) even though we ask all our students to save work in the Cloud for security.
