Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Arthur Phillip High School is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) technology school. Each student is required to have a device to complete their work in class and at home.

From 2025, we recommend either an iPad, or a laptop (Mac or Windows).

We have arranged discounted pricing for students through a company called Learning with Technology (LWT). They have a website where you are able to browse the recommended devices and purchase them for delivery to your home.

Choosing a device for your child, can be overwhelming with many different types of devices available. To assist, we have listed below both the minimum specifications required for school, and also listed the recommended models which are compatible with the school's network and enable your child to undertake their studies.

* If your child is interested in computing courses, a laptop (Windows or Mac) with 16GB memory is recommended – an iPad is not recommended for computing courses.

Note: Unfortunately, Android tablets are not supported for use at school. Chromebooks are no longer recommended, as they are unsuitable for certain subjects.
