Laptops & iPads – BYOD

• If your child already owns a device that meets the requirements, they can bring that to school and will not need to buy a new device.

• You may purchase devices from any supplier, however, RSC has an agreement with Trident who will make a purchase portal available from the RSC website.

• The Purchase Portal will contain a number of options for students at different price points. All of the options will satisfy the minimum required specifications.

• RSC has developed policies, protocols and procedures designed to encourage safe and responsible use, but cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage of devices.

• We recognize that the purchase of a device is a major decision and a significant expense. A good quality device may last a number of years and viewed over the long term, the total expenses of school are considerably less.
• The purpose of identifying minimum specifications is to allow families to utilise suitable devices that they already own.
