Choose your own device (CYOD)
Choose your own device (CYOD) provides parents with a range of devices to choose from and elect to purchase. The parent initially contributes the cost of the device to the school via a Participation Agreement and an annual Service Guarantee fee of $175 and the school will then purchase the device for their students’ sole use.
All devices come with a 3-year warranty (including battery). Devices are purchased with ADP warranty, which, from our experience, has been invaluable in minimising the cost of damage that devices used in a school-context often receive.
*2022 ADP statistic: 294x accidental damage claims this year, repaired with $0 excess.*

For more information about specifications and configurations for the devices offered in the 2024 round of Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) at Kenmore State High School, refer to the
1-to-1 Selection Guide 2024 (PDF, 1.2MB). The below video link also provided more information about the 2024 CYOD device options and may be used as a
guide only for device selection:
Options 1, 2 and 3: Acer P414
*Note: Option 1 being the i3, option 2 being the i5, and option 3 being the i7 with more memory and storage capacity.*
Bring your own device (BYOD)
Bring your own device (BYOD) allows parents to use an existing family owned device or purchase a new device of their choice that meets the minimum requirements of the school. Please look to the hardware specifications of CYOD options as minimum requirements. Students are required to have the appropriate software to meet the subject requirements that they intend to study.
An annual $125 fee supports running BYOD at the school.
The BYOD device will be able to connect to the school wireless network and access the school’s filtered Internet connection as well as access some of the school network drives. Printing from BYOD devices is supported. Because of the potentially broad range of devices and configurations across all student-owned devices, only minimal assistance might be possible through the ICT Helpdesk for issues beyond connection to the network and licensing of Adobe software.

Recommendation
It is recommended, where possible, families join CYOD.
It is the School's belief that the high quality devices, bulk-purchase pricing, 3-year warranty and accidental damage protection, access to Hot-swap devices and full software and support offered; make the program a great value proposition over the life of the technology device.
