Digitally-enhanced learning for future-ready citizens.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) at Woodcrest State College is a 1-1 laptop program for students in Years 6-12. It is a term used to describe a digital device ownership model where students use their personally owned device to access the Department of Education's (DoE) Information and Communication Network.
BYOD:
- Recognises the demand for seamless movement between school and home
- Assists students to improve their learning outcomes in a contemporary educational setting
- Assists students to become responsible digital citizens, enhances the teaching learning process, and supports the achievement of student outcomes
Access to the DoE ICT network is provided only if the device meets the DoE security requirements which, at a minimum, requires that anti-virus software has been installed, is running and is kept updated on the device. Students are responsible for the security, integrity, insurance and maintenance of their personal devices and their private network accounts.
IT Help Desk
Technical Support Officers are available at the IT Help Desk window in Campus Student Services to assist students by answering technical questions and supporting with minor technical issues.
