Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) 

The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program in schools allows students to bring their personal laptops to use for educational purposes in the classroom. It aims to enhance learning by integrating technology, encouraging digital literacy, and enabling more personalised and flexible access to educational resources.

It is important that laptops brought by students are suitable for use at school. Please be aware that some older devices will not work on the school’s network, the minimum specification for devices to qualify for BYOD can be found HERE. Also note that as the school network is Microsoft based, its capability to connect with Apple devices has not yet been fully tested. 

To support our students and families to purchase laptops we have sourced a range of laptops at educational prices. You can find out more about our Laptop Program at the YAS Order Portal HERE. The portal allows you to choose your payment preference.

The program is currently available to students from years 7 to 12. Before a student is allowed to connect their device to the school's BYOD network, students must review the BYOD Student Policy then complete the BYOD Student Agreement with a parent or caregiver and return the agreement to school. Students will then be notified when they have approval to connect their device to the BYOD network.

If you have any further questions regarding BYOD please contact Magda Nobis on magda.nobis126@schools.sa.edu.au
