What type of devices are used in schools?
For BYOD, the preferred device is a Windows device as this is the main device type used in upper primary and secondary years.

Devices can be purchased from your local retailer, online or from school's designated purchasing portal. Check with your child's school to ascertain if they have a purchasing portal.

Please see the Diocesan BYOD Minimum Specifications for more information.
What safety features does the school provide?
We provide protection, monitoring and content filtering on our Diocesan WiFi network. See Digital Safety and Security for more information.
