ICT Devices

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

At Collingwood College, we understand that technology is the gateway to innovative learning. As such, we support students through use of personal devices with our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program for secondary school students (Years 7 to 12).

ICT Recommendations

For students who BYOD, we recommend that devices accessing our network run either:

  • Microsoft Windows 10 version 1709 or later, or
  • Apple OS X 10.12 or later

Other specifications for suitable devices are as follows

  • A minimum of 4GB System Memory (RAM)
  • 11+ in screen
  • Wireless support for 802.1x a/b/g/n
  • 6 or more hours of battery life to last the student through the day

Devices not accepted

Unfortunately, the following devices are not eligible and can not be used for the BYOD program:

  • Mobile phones
  • Tablets
  • ChromeBooks
  • Linux devices

Note, these devices are not supported and will not be connected to the network


BYOD Requirements

For students partaking in the BYOD program, we require that both you and your child sign and return a copy of our Acceptable Use Agreement before your child’s student device can be connected and used on our network at school.

Microsoft Office is available for free to all students by registering with their school email account.
