At Pimpama State School, we
are constantly updating, evaluating and assessing the digital skills and tools
that will enable our students to use digital tools effectively, preparing them
for the skills they will need throughout their lives.
The BYO Laptop program is designed to help students keep up with the demands of the 21st century. Helping students become responsible digital citizens will enhance not only what we do in the classroom, but also give students skills and experiences that will prepare them for their future studies and career.
Please read the attached flyers and information below to ensure your child is ready to participate in our BYO Laptop program.
BYO Laptop Purchasing Guide
It is important to source a laptop which has suitable specifications to allow your child to achieve the best possible access to the BYO Laptop program. The BYO Laptop Purchasing Guide (PDF, 327KB) outlines a range of laptops currently available on the purchasing portals on this page. Devices are categorised into three levels of specification:
The guide also outlines recommended extras (such as carry cases and extended warranties), and optional extras.
BYO Laptop Purchasing Portals
The following purchasing portals provide Laptops and accessories which meet the specifications of the school. Each supplier also offers add-ons such as extended warranties and accidental damage repair. While we make every effort to ensure your child's device is looked after (both at school and at home), accidents do happen and we strongly encourage families to consider these add-ons.
These suppliers are not affiliated with Pimpama State School. Should you find a device with similar specifications elsewhere, you are more than welcome to purchase a laptop from any supplier.
