Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) refers to students bringing their personally owned device to school for the purpose of learning. A personally owned device is essentially any technological device brought into the school and is owned by a student or the student's family.
The Mitchell High School BYOD program is a strategy to increase student learning through engagement. As the use of technology in classrooms increases, it is necessary for students to be allowed to maximise their learning potential through the use of electronic devices. The BYOD program for Year 7 is compulsory.
Years 9–12
Mitchell High School will be allowing students to bring their personally owned laptops to school. It is essential that these laptops are suitable for use at school. Please see the Mitchell High School Device Specifications list and the laptop must fulfil the Minimum System Requirements (refer to the school website for more information).
Before students will be allowed to bring their own laptop, students and their parents/carers must read the DoE Bring Your Own Device Policy and the Mitchell High School BYOD Student Agreement (refer to the school website for more information).
BYOD forms are available on the MHS Website and the Mitchell High School Administration counter.
The agreement must be filled in, signed and submitted to the MHS Administration Office.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please contact the school.
Years 7–8
Mitchell High School introduced a compulsory BYOD program in 2022 and will continue this incentive from Year 7 each year.
