What is BYOD?
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) refers to students bringing a personally-owned electronic communication device, e.g. tablet, laptop) to school for the purpose of learning.
Hampden Park Public School recognises the need to prepare students for a rapidly-changing world where technology plays an increasing role in students' everyday lives.
BYOD
Your child is invited to bring a suitable learning device such as a laptop or tablet to school for learning purposes. We understand that devices cost money and do not expect all students to arrive at school next year with devices. Students can join the program at any time, once a device has been purchased.
