BYOD Program
BYOD Approach at Narre Warren South P-12 College
Primary School:
No BYOD is necessary for primary school students as each classroom is equipped with a dedicated set of devices tailored to facilitate learning.
iPads are provided for Prep to Grade 3 students, while Grade 4 to Grade 6 students are supplied with Chromebooks, ensuring accessibility to devices within the classroom environment.
Secondary School:
Secondary school students are expected to bring their own devices to school to align with the curriculum’s emphasis on flexibility and independence.
Through our partnership with Edunet, we offer competitive pricing for devices, supplemented by a college subsidy to reduce the overall cost for families.
Our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program gives families two flexible options to support their child’s learning.
Managed BYOD (Recommended):
You can do this by contacting our main reception, sub-school office, Head of Year, or one of our Multicultural Education Aides.
