Device Readiness at SSHIPS
With our BYOD 1:1 device program students are expected to be at school each day with their own fully charged, functioning device (iPad in Junior Years 7-9 & Laptop, Years 10-12).
The formulation of good routines and habits are part of our TORO values. Thus, it is a school wide expectation that students present to TORO Roll mark each day with a charged and functioning device. Ideally devices would be 100% charged, stored within a protective case connected to our iDET network.
Trouble shooting support will occur during TORO Roll Mark to help ensure readiness for the day and students can visit the IT office for further support outside of class times.
Charging of devices in the classroom can be a health & safety issue as a trip hazard. It can also be inequitable, and our classroom environments cannot accommodate sufficient charging points for all students.
We offer support and access to loan devices for families in need through our Equity Access BYOD Hardship Loan Device program
