School-Provided Device Program
At St Paul’s School, we are committed to equipping students with the tools they need to thrive in a digital world. From 2026, we will begin transitioning to a School-Provided Device Program, enhancing learning through consistency, security, and accessibility.
Program Transition Overview
Starting in 2026, all Year 7 and Year 10 students will receive a school-provided ASUS 14″ ExpertBook. This marks the first phase in replacing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model with a more unified and equitable approach to technology in the classroom.
This transition is designed to create a safer, more streamlined, and inclusive learning environment.
Key benefits include:
- Enhanced cyber security through centrally managed devices
- Fewer classroom disruptions and smoother lesson delivery
- Reduced costs for families – the device is included in school fees
- Pre-loaded curriculum software for immediate learning readiness
- On-site support via TechZone for fast repairs and minimal downtime
- Improved digital literacy through consistent tools and training
Rollout Plan
While Year 7 and Year 10 will lead the rollout in 2026, other Senior School year levels will continue with BYOD for the time being. The full transition is expected to be complete by 2028, when all students will be using school-provided device.
Year 7 & Year 10 will receive their school-provided ASUS 14″ ExpertBook at the start of Term 1, 2026.
