BYOD (Bring your own device)

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Laptop Program:

St John’s Catholic College has integrated ICTs into the teaching and learning program. All students enrolling at the College are required to have a laptop as part of their learning materials. St John’s has a dual (supported and unsupported) BYOD laptop program giving students and families flexibility and choice.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Laptop Program – Supported Program:

The College has partnered with technology for education firm Edunet for the BYOD supported program. Families selecting this option purchase one of four designated laptops through the Edunet portal from a range of price points and specification structure. By participating in the supported program students receive access to College WIFI, use of the College Image (software / programs) and IT support, as well as the resourcing, support and benefits of the Edunet program.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Laptop Program Unsupported Program:

Students are also permitted to bring their own choice of laptop (meeting the listed minimum specifications) through the BYOD unsupported program. The term ‘unsupported program’ refers to students/families being responsible for all matters associated with the device – purchase, warranty, programs, maintenance, insurance, etc. Please note that there is no guarantee that BYOD devices will be able to access the NT Schools Network. The College will only provide limited IT Support to students electing to participate in the unsupported BYOD program. Although not mandated, Apple and Google Chrome devices are not recommended for the BYOD unsupported program due to their incompatibility with the NT Schools network.
