Everton Park State High School requires students to bring their own laptop to school. This ensures that all students in our community are able to access learning in every lesson, every day.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Our BYOD policy offers families the flexibility to utilise a 'family owned' device, as students can bring their own personal laptop to school (the student must be the administrator of the device and no family sharing can be enabled). BYOD laptops must meet the minimum requirements.
Acceptable devices list
The acceptable devices list can be downloaded and printed on the right hand side of this page. It is recommended to print this sheet and bring it with you when selecting a device. Android Tablets, Chromebooks, iPads and ARM based Windows devices are not supported. ARM based devices are sometimes referred to as Snapdragon or Qualcomm devices.
