COMPUTERS and BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)
WGHS is a BYOD (Bring your own device) school, enabling all students to regularly use a digital platform for their learning.
Students may choose which brand/type of device to bring, however it must meet the minimum screen size requirements of a 10” screen and a permanent keyboard.
For junior students, a chromebook will meet learning needs.
Seniors may wish to have either a chromebook or a laptop, depending on the subjects they are taking and requirements for these.
You may wish to consider one of the following options for your daughter:
1. Use a device which they already own.
2. Buy a new device.
3. Use a school device.
For students who wish to use a school device, chromebooks will be available for students to use during term time. A bond of $20 will be paid on issue of a device and this will be refunded when the device is returned in its original condition. Students are welcome to use a school device until they are able to acquire their own.
Students are required to have signed a BYOD/Cybersafety agreement. This sets the guidelines for computer use within the school.
