BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
Dulwich High School has developed a BYOD policy designed to allow students to bring a laptop or tablet to school.
Teachers in all subjects will be delivering lessons that assume students have a device that meets the required specifications. Therefore, all students will be expected to have a device at school that they can use.
Visit our technology website for lots of information on software, specifications and more.
As a community we have endeavoured to provide parents and students with the maximum amount of choice in the selection of a device. Devices purchased for use at school need to be portable, robust and have sufficient battery life to operate for a school day.
