Optional BYOD Program
A device is a necessary tool in the workforce today and can be used to assist students with diagnosed conditions to access curriculum and learning experiences. This agreement allows for students in the senior years of their schooling (Years 10, 11 and 12) to bring their own device to school to use for their studies and access digital resources for their learning programs.
When used appropriately, technology can increase curriculum engagement and relevance and empowers students to be more creative and connected.
Hampton Senior High School has implemented an optional parent-funded Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for students in Year 10, 11 and 12, and for students with adjustments. Whilst students are able to bring in a device of their choice, there are specific device requirements that are best aligned with the School’s teaching and learning practices and technology infrastructure. It is essential parents carefully read through the BYOD Program document below.
It is important to note that it is not compulsory for students to participate in this program. Students will continue to have access to school computers and specialist devices while at school.
