To support this vision, all students in Year 7 and above are required to bring their own laptop, selected from a range of recommended models.
This environment, where there is one computer per one student, from a specific range of recommended models, is known as 1:1 Computing. This is different from a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programme, where students can bring whatever computer they already own to class.
This will differ from class to class and teacher to teacher. Some subjects lend themselves to using a computer more naturally than others. All teachers participate in ongoing professional development and implementation time to allow them to feel confident in teaching a class of students where every student has a laptop.

Students are required to bring a fully charged device to school each day and take responsibility to remember to charge it beforehand. Students are also required to bring their laptop chargers to school.
