Bring Your Own Device Program

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) at Somerville Rise Primary School

Commencing in 2027, schools with primary students must not invite or allow families to purchase or bring their own devices for use at school. 

Exemptions: 

• Schools will be able to continue to use BYO devices for primary school aged students where it is an identified support for a student with disability. 

• Schools that provide fully online schooling to primary school aged students will be able to continue their current device programs. 

At Somerville Rise Primary School, students who have been using BYO devices prior to 2027 can continue using their devices until they need to be replaced.
