Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
BYOD
Our Learning Vision is to empower our girls to connect with a wide range of knowledge to become safe, confident, adaptable and connected global citizens. Learning will be meaningful, authentic and creative.
Why Bring Your Own Device?
What device? Wherever possible, students should bring a device to school to use to support their learning. It is recommended that the device has at least a 10” screen, keyboard and a long battery life. Devices with a touch screen and a digital pen enable easy digital writing and drawing of diagrams. If you have an existing device, don’t buy a new one until the device no longer meets your needs. The school has a number of loan devices for students who cannot bring their own.
More info: As a part of our Microsoft licence all students can download and install MS Office products on their devices (up to 5) via their NPGHS Office365 account.
Owners should take care over the security of any devices brought to school. They are brought to school at the owners risk and are not covered by any school insurance. Parents and caregivers are advised to check the status of their own insurance to cover them.
Use of devices will be determined by the teacher. The Building Positive Relationships (BPR) Programme has been extended to cover any issues that may arise.
The school Wi-Fi network internet access is filtered in the same way as access via school computers. User access will be logged and can be monitored.
The school cannot monitor the students own mobile data plan internet usage on personal devices.
Both Noel Leeming and Harvey Norman have a good range of devices for purchase and support our school BYOD programme.
