Bring Your Own Device

CSC recognises that in a digital age, and with rapid and continuing changes in the ways that people share, use, develop and communicate with ICT, our students need to be highly skilled in its use. We operate a BYOD program which requires students to bring their own notebook computer to school for educational use in the classroom.

In order to ensure that the device brought the school is compatible with CSC’s network, ICT policy and the Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) Official [Privacy Policy], a BYOD checklist is provide for families below.  Free software and online storage is also available to all CSC students through this program.
