BYOD – Students in Years 10-12
The core purpose of the Bring Your Own Device program for students in Years 10-12 is to enhance educational experiences. The BYOD program allows students to use a device of their choice that meets the minimum technical specifications outlined on pages 9 and 10 of the Bowen State High School 1 to 1 Laptop Policy 2025. A BYOD requires the ability to connect to the school network, internet and printers. The Technical Support Officer will provide assistance for connecting to the school network, printers and internet whilst the student is at school. Any other technical issues need to be resolved by the family through their provider. The student will be required to have appropriate software to meet the subject requirements that they intend to study. The installation and maintenance of personal software is the responsibility of family or caregivers. Genuine versions of software need to be installed to ensure updates. Some subjects require subject specific software and there may be situations where students are required to acquire software on short notice. The demands of subject specific software can change from year to year and are communicated with students as required.
More comprehensive information about the BYOD program can be found in the attached policy.
