Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Corryong College operates a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Students are required to bring their own device to school each day. The school provides families with updated minimum specifications, recommended devices, and any restrictions prior to each school year.

To support learning, student devices must:

  • ๐Ÿ’ป Be carried in a protective case
  • ๐Ÿ’ป Meet the minimum technical requirements set by the school

Please note that the school does not provide insurance for student devices. Families are strongly encouraged to arrange their own coverage for accidental damage or theft
