The ‘x’ in BYOx represents more than a personally owned mobile device; it also includes software, applications, connectivity or carriage service.

Students participating in the BYOx program have the benefits of:
- Operating in a digital classroom – Accessing lesson material, assessment and a dedicated student working space that can be used to collate notes, conduct research and online learning.
- Using software and processes that are consistent with industry practice, preparing our learners for career development and the workforce.
- Have the opportunity to receive electronic feedback on learning and assessment from teachers

All state school students from Prep to Year 12 can now download multiple free copies of the Microsoft Office Suite to their personal home and mobile computer equipment.

If they have any further issues, they will need to speak to their MIS Administrator.
