Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program

BYOD Program

St John’s Grammar School provides all technological devices (tablets/laptops) for our students between Reception and Year 7 (Year 7 students then retain their School-supplied device until the end of Year 9) – these are provided all inclusive of School Fees.

The School also offers a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program for students entering the School in Years 8 – 12. Students at the Secondary Campus are able to bring a laptop of their choice for use on the School’s network.

To assist the School in providing the best integration with our student’s learning requirements, if your child will be bringing their own device, we request the following hardware specifications for all BYOD machines:

Minimum Specifications

  • Core M Processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • 128GB SSD Storage
  • 802.11 AC/N WiFi

Whilst these minimum specifications will ensure the capability to run the majority of our software, to allow for your child’s machine to have the maximum lifespan and variation of uses possible, we recommend considering the following specifications when purchasing a machine:

Recommended Specifications

  • Core i5 Processor
  • 8GB RAM
  • 256 GB SSD Storage
  • 802.11 AC/N WiFi

School-Supported Device

We also offer a school-supported device should parents prefer this option, and following extensive research, the School has selected the HP Probook x360 as the preferred option for this device.

This device is available through the School’s supplier, Datacom at a special reduced price of $1455 (RRP $1785).

If you require more information, please email hp_probook@stjohns.sa.edu.au and we will endeavour to answer your questions.
