We want to maximise the learning enabled by these devices and as a result, have introduced an optional 'Bring Your Own Device' programme.
This will mean that students, if they wish, can bring an approved laptop or tablet to their regular classroom every day. Teachers will direct how these devices will be used to support learning. We strongly recommend that a robust case/cover is purchased.
There is no expectation for students to bring a device to school. If you are concerned about cost, theft, or feel that your child is not yet responsible enough to bring a device to school, then please do not apply for the BYOD scheme.
Recognising the rapidly changing world of technology, the minimum specifications for devices will be reviewed regularly.
Bringing a device to school is a privilege and students wishing to do so must demonstrate an agreed level of responsibility.
PREFERRED DEVICES:
1) IPad
2) Chromebook
Devices must be less than 3 years old.
ALL DEVICES MUST HAVE WI-FI CONNECTIVITY. YOUR CHILD WILL BE ADVISED WHEN THEY ARE PERMITTED TO BRING THEIR DEVICE TO SCHOOL.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE SEESAW APP AND GOOGLE SUITE BEFORE SENDING YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WITH THEIR DEVICE.
