BYOD stands for Bring Your Own Device. Homebush Boys High School started this initiative to continue the one to one student-laptop Digital Education Revolution (DER) program which was started by the Australian Government in 2007. BYOD refers to the policy for permitting students to bring their own devices (laptops/tablets) to school, and to use those devices to access the DEC wireless network and other school resources.
Students and parents have the freedom to purchase any device so long as it meets the schools Device Requirements Document. Prior to students using their devices at school they must have read/understood and submitted a copy of the BYOD Student Agreement with their signature and their parents/caregivers signature.
We recommend the 'Lenovo 100e Chromebook Gen 2' be the first choice for the BYOD initiative to all students. This decision was made with careful considerations of many factors including but not limited to cost, functionality, durability and usability. We have been in touch with numerous suppliers and finalised the lowest cost and procedures to acquire our recommended BYOD - Lenovo 100e Chromebook.
To simplify the buying procedure, we have partnered with Lenovo and Digitally Driven to offer the best possible price for the device. Parents/carers have the option to buy an Asus Chromebook through our negotiated pricing with Digitally Driven. Your son will be given a free school google account to use the device.
For your convenience, you can pay via our online payment system or you can also pay the school front office and receive the device when it is delivered to the school.
Please pay the staff at the School office and they will in turn do a bulk order at the end of the week to our supplier.
*Delivery charges may vary depending on time of purchase. Last Updated - 15/02/2021
