This initiative is drawing to a close. The current Year 7 (2024) will be the final group to participate in this program. Moving forward, students will need to Bring Their Own Device (BYOD) in Year 7.
Students enrolled in Year 7 will be issued a school owned device for their stage 4 (Year 7 & 8) education at JCBTHS. This will provide the opportunity for students to learn knowledge & skills as a Digital Citizen, utilise a standard device for completing work electronically with web based tools licensed for all government school students.
At the end of Year 8 parents will be able to make a decision with their child on the best device to select for the remainder of their schooling. Financially, we are providing equity of access in stage 4 and minimising costs to families with students possibly only needing to purchase one device for use through Year 9 to Year 12.
