Years 7-12 Student Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program 

All Oakbank School students in our Middle and Senior Schools (Year 7-12) are asked to bring their own laptop to class each day. Our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model is a “light-touch” or “open” model where students are able to access the school’s wireless network with their personal laptops during the school day for the purpose of learning. This gives access to our Learning Management System, online apps and resources, filtered internet, printing and enables secure collaborative projects.

Why have a BYOD Program?

A device in the hands of every student extends and enriches learning by:Shifting instruction towards student centred learning, where inquiry and authentic learning are emphasized.

  • Focusing on contemporary leaning, including critical and creative thinking, collaboration, communication, self-direction, global and cultural awareness.
  • Using online learning tools and digital content.
  • Increasing student engagement.
  • Creating learning opportunities; anytime, anywhere.
