Our Approach to Technology

In their use of technology, students are encouraged to become independent critical thinkers by analysing information to help them make informed decisions.

We seamlessly integrate digital tools to enhance teaching and learning experiences.

•  Students in the Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 have access to class sets of iPads.
• Students in Stage 2 have access to 1:1 school-managed laptops.
• Students in Stage 3 are part of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program for Years 5-12

The Oxley Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program is designed to integrate personal technology into the educational environment, enhancing the learning experience for students in Years 5-12. This policy allows students to bring their own devices to school for academic purposes.

Device Specifications: To ensure compatibility and functionality, the following specifications are recommended for student devices:

• Operating System: Windows 11 (version 23H2 or later) or macOS (version 14 Sonoma or later)
  • Mac Processor: If you are purchasing a Mac, the M4 silicon chip is the recommended model
• Storage Capacity: Minimum of 256 GB (Solid State Drive preferred).
• Memory (RAM): Minimum of 16 GB.
• Battery Life: At least 6 hours of active use.
• Screen Size: 12.0+
• Web Browsers: Latest versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari.

Additional Recommendations:

• Protective Case: To safeguard the device from damage.
• Extended Warranty / Accidental Damage Protection

 We understand that choosing a BYOD device can be confusing, so we have partnered with EduComIT to provide both Mac and PC choices that are in line with our suggested specifications.
