Success for all

One Student, One Device

The Port Augusta Secondary School Governing Council endorsed the Technology Tools initiative which took effect from term 1 2020 where all year 11 and 12 students are required to have their own device. The Governing Council extended this opportunity of One Student, One Device across all year levels from the commencement of the 2021 school year. 

At Port Augusta Secondary School all students are required to have their own laptop device for use at school. There are 2 options available:

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) at no cost

Bring your own device (BYOD) from home, or purchase a new device through your preferred supplier. Families choosing this option may be eligible for a rebate from Governing Council of $25 per term ($100 per year) credit which can be utilised for payment of school fees, uniforms or excursions. This offer is available for a 3 year period from 2023 to 2026. Therefore if you opt for BYOD from 2023 to 2026, you will be entitled to a total $300 credit to be spent at the school. Credits will be issued each term. BYOD agreement forms will need to be completed through the Resource Technology Centre (RTC). To be eligible for $100 per year credit, devices must be consistently used at school, sufficiently charged ready for use and meet our recommended minimum specifications:

* anti-glare screen is recommended

Please note: Chromebooks do not meet minimum specifications – our network does not support them.

To assist families with pricing research in relation to BYOD, information on devices is available from Leaning With technologies (LWT) who offer a range of devices that meet our minimum specifications.
