Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Mount Beauty Secondary College is committed to excellence in learning within a supportive environment. To ensure students engage with current technologies and digital learning tools, we operate a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) laptop program.
The BYOD program outlines minimum device specifications to ensure compatibility with school systems and the demands of modern learning. To support families, we offer access to a purchasing portal through Edunet:
This portal is provided as a support option and is not mandatory. Families may choose to purchase devices through other providers; however, it is essential that any device meets the minimum specifications listed below. The device will need to be networked to our system and will need to have suitable software for use in class.
If you would like to discuss device options or require support from the school, please contact the Assistant Principal.
