​​​Kingaroy State High School is a registered Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)​ School. 

Kingaroy State High School's BYOD program operates on a minimum-specification model, which means that no single make of device is preferred over another. Provided the device meets the minimum specifications, your student's device should connect to the school's technologies and allow your student to access online curriculum resources.

The use of a BYO device and participation in the school's BYOD program is subject to acceptance of the terms and conditions outlined in the Digital Technologies and BYOx Link Acceptable use Agreement document

Things to note:

  • Option of any device that meets the appropriate subject requirements
  • Requires enrolment in school's BYOD program to access network, internet and printing
  • Limited support from the school around upkeep and software. No repairs by school on these devices


Choosing a device - Online Portals

To assist you in purchasing a device for your students, major computer vendors have worked with our school to provide information through purchasing portals.  These portals allow parents to purchase the devices at discounted education prices and may include interest free payment plans and other arrangements to suit any budget. The school does not endorse or recommend any particular brand of device and parents are free to choose to purchase from any vendor of their choice.

Connecting to the school network

BYOD connection to the school network is through Microsoft Intune.  It provides a secure, efficient platform that enables Bring Your Own Devices secure access to internet, and learning resources on the school network.

To use the BYOD service, students will need to enrol their device into Microsoft Intune.  Devices can be prepared at home by following the relevant help guide for your device operating system (Windows, MacOS or iOS).

Before you begin, please ensure you have completed the Pre-Enrolment checks​.
