BYOD Program

Hazel Glen College incorporates the use of technology in every area of the curriculum. Students use their devices in many ways, including reviewing their timetables, receiving learning material customised to their classes, participating in collaborative projects and submitting work to their teachers.

• Students from Prep to Year 6 use an iPad for their everyday classroom learning
• Students from Year 7 to Year 12 can choose their own device to suit their style of learning 

An appropriate piece of technology is required as it is an essential part of our student’s learning journey. Students require a variety of apps on their devices to assist in their learning. Apps are used to create assignments and assist in the consumption and communication of information.

Therefore, it is essential to have the required applications installed on devices. In this way, students are responsible for and in control of their learning at HGC.
