Bring Your Own Device (Years 3-6)

As part of our learning at Plympton Primary students from year 3 onwards are given the opportunity to bring their own laptop to school.

In the Australian Curriculum, students develop Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability as they learn to use ICT effectively and appropriately to access, create and communicate information and ideas, solve problems and work collaboratively in all learning areas at school and in their lives beyond school. ICT capability involves students learning to make the most of the digital technologies available to them, adapting to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve and limiting the risks to themselves and others in a digital environment.

To participate in a knowledge-based economy and to be empowered within a technologically sophisticated society now and into the future, students need the knowledge, skills and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at home, at work and in their communities. Information and communication technologies are fast and automated, interactive and multimodal, and they support the rapid communication and representation of knowledge to many audiences and its adaptation in different contexts. They transform the ways that students think and learn and give them greater control over how, where and when they learn.

Parents are able to purchase the laptop from a purchase Portal provided by Learning with Technology (LWT).

The device is delivered to your home from LWT.  LWT has a range of payment options available through the portal for your convenience.  As with all payment plans, please ensure you are aware of all terms and conditions before entering into them. On delivery of the device, please bring it to the front office and our IT team will set it up for school use.  This will include password set-up and connection into the school network.  You and your child will also need to complete an ICT user agreement. Upon completion of these documents and the installation of certificates, the device will then be ready for use at both school and home
