The Benefits of BYOD
Aveley Secondary College is committed to developing students' digital literacy skills to prepare them for future learning, employment and life beyond school. Digital literacy is embedded across all learning areas and develops students' ability to investigate, create, collaborate, manage information, and use technology safely and responsibly.
Our BYOD Program allows students to engage in enriched learning experiences and access online platforms, including Compass, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and RTO portals (for students enrolled in Certificate courses).
From 2027, the College's Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program will apply to students in Years 10–12, who are required to have a device with a keyboard (either a laptop or a tablet with an attached keyboard) to support learning in senior school.
Students in Years 7–9 are encouraged to have access to a device at home and may bring a personal device to school to complement their learning.
Google Classroom will continue to be used across Years 7–12 as the College's online learning platform, providing students with access to learning materials, resources and assessment information both at school and at home.
Students may choose the device that best suits their needs; however, Windows and macOS devices integrate most effectively with Department of Education networks. Devices should meet the minimum specifications outlined in 'The Device' section below. Please note that recommended specifications are reviewed periodically, so families are encouraged to check this page before purchasing a device.
