​​​​​Pacific Pines State High School is a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) school. This means that students are required to bring their own laptop to school each day. The laptop will need to be able to connect to the school network and the Internet.


Both Microsoft Office 365 and the software needed to connect your device to the network is free. 

Why does your child need a BYOD? 

  • Enhanced learning and engagement in the classroom. 
  • Independent learning at home. 
  • Seamless access to the curriculum, using your own device both at school and at home. 
  • Increased student participation, opportunities for collaboration and positive engagement during class time. 
  • Encourages and supports versatile learning styles and abilities. 
  • Increases opportunities and access to higher and extended learning. 
  • Improved Technology skills 
  • Access to school Outlook email. 
  • Access to school calendar and information on events. 
  • Access to ClickView, QLearn, OneNote Classrooms and Microsoft Teams. ​

IT Support for Students 

 

Our school IT Technicians are located in JE03​ and are available to assist students every school day from 7:30am to 3:15pm.  Students can also contact tech-assist@pacificpinesshs.eq.edu.au​​ for assistance.


Students visiting during class times will be required to produce a pass given to them via their teacher. 


Whilst we try and help every student with issues from network connectivity through to software glitches we will never take a screwdriver or other tool to your child's device. 


Any hardware issues must be dealt with externally from our school by the likes of the devices manufacturer or an authorised repairer. ​
