At Unley High School, technology is used in teaching and learning to help students become capable, responsible and effective users of a range of digital tools. It supports student learning, improves access to learning opportunities, and helps students connect with the wider community.
Unley High School is introducing a Managed Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program from 2027. Under this program, laptops purchased through the School Device Program Portal will be configured and managed by the school for the duration of the student’s enrolment.
From 2027, the Managed BYOD Program will be compulsory for all new Year 7 enrolments, with current Middle School iPads being phased out over the coming years. The program will also be available to current students, particularly those moving into Years 10 to 12 and looking to upgrade their laptop.
Current students may continue using their existing device until replacement is required. This includes iPads for students in Years 8–9, and Windows laptops and MacBooks for students in Years 10–12. Students entering Year 10 from 2027, and any current student needing a replacement device, will be encouraged to purchase through the portal to access the full management and support available under the program. From 2028, all students entering Year 10 will be required to purchase a device through the portal if upgrading from an iPad.
