In order to support innovative learning through the use of personal devices and technology, Collingwood College has a BYOD Program for students in the secondary school (Years 7 to 12).
Students are encouraged to bring a suitable device every day for use in the classroom. Access to the internet, school email service and use of software applications such as Word and Excel are all part of our standard curriculum program.
In order to facilitate classroom activities and connection to the school network in 2019 we requirethat these devices run either:
Microsoft Windows 8.1 or later, or
Microsoft Windows 10 version 1709 or later, or
Apple OSX 10.11 or later.
We recommended that a suitable device should include:
Minimum 4GB Memory (RAM)
11+ inch screen
Wireless support for 802.1x a/b/g/n
6 hours or more of battery life to last the student through the day
Mobile phones, Tablets, Chromebooks and Linux based devices are not suitable for use in the classroom will not be supported. If the school deems that the provided device is not suitable for use it will not be connected to the network.
