Albany
Creek SHS strongly believes that well-supported 1 to 1 access to Laptops and iPads have the potential to deliver fundamental and lasting
advantages to our student population.
To
help our students prepare for the challenges of the future and to
assist them to assimilate the use of technologies into their everyday
education activities we offer the student the opportunity to join our
BYO Device Program.
Our BYO Device Brochure outlines the minimum specifications that a device needs to meet for Years 7-9 iPads and 10-12 Laptops. The brochure also includes a small list of required applications that must be installed on the device.
Software requirements
Please refer to the BYOD brochure for the required software/applications. Intune company portal must be installed and set up on any school device.
Antivirus Program - all students bringing in their own Laptop will
require an anitvirus program loaded on their laptop. This can be
a free or purchased program from the retailer of your choice. The school uses Symantec but
you may select any anti virus package.
Breakages and repairs
Basic problem
solving and device support will be provided by the school.
Parents as owners of
the device are responsible for breakages and damage. Parents should counsel
their children about the proper use and care of the device to reduce potential
breakages.
Parents are advised
to take out insurance or adjust their current insurance policy to ensure that
the iPad is covered at school for damage, loss and breakages.
