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 use the College’s wireless network in their classes to access our digital learning programs and resources. There are different device specifications which are dependent on the student's year level.
Devices cannot be purchased outright through the College. However, the College does offer a device leasing program where student devices can be leased from the College over a 3 year agreement. The leasing program payments are processed through the student fees annualy. On completion of the lease, the device becomes the property of the leasing family.
The nomination form links for requesting entry into the College's Student Device Lease Program for 2026 are provided below. Please use the appropriate link for your circumstances. Existing families with existing or new enrolments should use the Existing Family Link, which will require signing in with your PLC Parent Account. New families with new enrolments for 2026 should use the New Family link. Please read the 2026 Student Device Lease Agreement Terms before requesting entry into the Student Device Lease Program.
If families wish to directly purchase their own device that meets College hardware device requirements, please see your preferred retailer or order a device online from a manufacturer. To assist with this option, the College has arranged a Bring Your Own (BYO) device purchasing portal with JB Hi-Fi which contains a selection of devices that are approved for use in the College BYO program. The School Code required to access the JB Hi-Fi will be published in the Compass Newsletter, or can be requested by emailing ithelp@pacluth.qld.edu.au. Please do not share this School Code outside of the College community.
Note that the devices listed in the JB Hi-Fi BYO device purchasing portal are not the only devices which can be used in the College BYOD program. Please refer to the 2026 Bring Your Own (BYO) Device Specification (linked below) for further details, including the type of devices which are supported.
For BYO device setup guides for students with PLC logins, please visit byod.pacluth.qld.edu.au. Students with BYO devices will need to visit the IT Office before connecting to the PLC network for the first time.
