BYOD

Bring Your Own Device

At Westall Secondary College, we are committed to enhancing learning through technology. Our Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program allows students to bring a personal laptop to support their education in a safe and structured environment. This initiative fosters digital literacy, creativity, and independent learning while ensuring students have access to essential online resources.

Students must have a personal device and bring it to school daily to enhance their learning experience.

To participate, students’ devices must meet our minimum technical requirements and comply with the school’s acceptable use policy. Cyber safety is a priority, and we provide secure internet access and guidance on responisble use of technology. If you need assistance selecting a device or have any questions, please refer to our BYOD guidelines or contact the school office.
