Aveley Primary School is continuing the implementation of a 1:1 BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Program in 2026. Students in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 will continue to participate in the program.
Students at Aveley PS currently have access to a range of technologies, including Apple iPads, desktop computers and Chromebooks. The integration of a 1:1 BYOD Program reflects our vision to enhance learning through the use of readily available technology, ensuring that every student can access digital tools to support flexible, creative and collaborative learning opportunities.
In developing this program, we aim to:
- Strengthen the connection between school and home learning environments.
- Provide consistent, equitable access to digital content and tools for all students.
- Support flexible learning pathways that encourage innovation, problem solving and independence.
This document provides detailed information about purchasing options and device recommendations, along with answers to frequently asked questions about the program. As the 2026 school year progresses, families will also be invited to information sessions to observe classroom implementation, provide feedback and ask questions.
Students new to the program in 2026 will be required to provide an Apple iPad (10th Gen) as their BYO device. Students currently involved in the program in 2025 (students in Years 3, 4 and 5 in 2025 and who already have a device) may continue using their existing device if they meet the program’s minimum specifications.
The Apple iPad has been selected as the preferred device to ensure consistency across classrooms and alignment with one of our local high schools, which also utilises iPads in its learning program.
