Bring Your Own Device Program

The College Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program requires Year 3-12 students to access a personal device. This program aims to support students in their learning and enhance their educational experience at the College. Using their own device, students will access our digital learning programs and resources during their classes through the College’s wireless network. There are different device specifications which are dependent on the student's year level. Please refer to the 2027 Bring Your Own (BYO) Device Specification (linked below) for further details, including the type of devices which are supported. 

Families may purchase their own device that meets College hardware device requirements by visiting their preferred retailer or ordering a device online from a manufacturer. Devices cannot be purchased through the College. If visiting a retail store, the College recommends taking a copy of the device specifications for reference. 

Alternatively families may request to lease an approved device through the College over a three year agreement by completing a request form (linked below). Leased devices will be covered by manufacturer warranty and Accidental Damage Protection (insurance) for the duration of the lease according to the Lease Agreement Terms and Conditions (linked below) with the program costs billed automatically through their student fees. Each form completed will submit a request for a device for a single student. If you require new devices for multiple students, please submit one form for each student. 
Note that submission of a request does not guarantee entry into the program. Each request will be reviewed for eligibility and device avaliability, with a confirmation of acceptance sent separately via email once the request is reviewed.
New devices requested through the 2027 Device Lease Program will be available for collection at the College on Friday, January 22nd, 2027, from 12PM to 4PM during the "Meet your Teacher" afternoon.

Please use one of the following online forms to request a device as part of the 2027 Device Lease Program. 
Existing families (with a Pacific Parent Account) please use this link: New Device Lease for Existing Families
New families (without a Pacific Parent Account) please use this link: New Device Lease for New Families
If you encounter issues accessing or completing the online forms, please request assistance via ithelp@pacluth.qld.edu.au.
