BYOx Program – Equity Program
We recognise that the BYOx program raises a financial cost on students and their families in supplying a device. At the same time, the program can only function if all students have access to appropriate technological resources in all of their classes. The release of a school supplied device is temporary. The intention of the program is to allow sufficient time so that students and families can prepare their child with their own device for learning.

Microsoft Office for Personal Devices
All state school students from Prep to Year 12 can now download multiple free copies of the Microsoft Office Suite to their personal home and mobile computer equipment. Students who want the free software will need an active Managed Internet Service (MIS) login, school email account and password - those who do not have these should contact their school's MIS Administrator or class teacher. The administrator will help students activate their MIS login.
Currently, MS Office Suite is available for students' personal equipment only - not equipment which is part of a school network. The following information has been designed to support students with the download:
If they have any further issues, they will need to speak to their MIS Administrator.
OneDrive for Students (Cloud Storage)
From 21 June 2018, students in our school will be able to access Microsoft's OneDrive for Business through the MIS Gateway.
OneDrive for Business provides a secure place on the internet where school-related files can be stored, shared and synced.
