Welcome to the St Patrick's BYOD Laptop Program

At St Patrick's College, students are required to purchase and bring to school their own digital device (BYOD).

The scope of the device usage in the classroom has expanded in recent years and by facilitating a BYOD model, we intend to empower students to take individual responsibility and give them direct involvement in the way they use technology in their learning.

Studies on BYOD programs have shown that students are more engaged and motivated when using personal technology to support their learning. We expect the program will not only provide students with access to global resources and content but allow them to take ownership of their learning by providing them with a range of options to suit their learning style.

Students’ use of technology and communication devices has become normalised to the extent that many already have, and are extremely comfortable using multiple devices available to them at home and on the move. Additionally, the College environment should replicate the post year 10 experience with technology, and lead to a smooth transition to senior study or the workplace.
