What is BYOD Initiative?
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.
How does it work?
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.
- BYOD Student Agreement - Will need to be signed and returned back to the school.
- BYOD Policy - Please review the BYOD Policy Statements surrounding the BYOD Initiative.
- BYOD Requirements - Please review the BYOD Requirements before purchasing any device for your son.
Purchasing options for the Lenovo Google 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.
