Redland Bay State School BYO program
At Redland Bay State School, our Year 5 and Year 6 students are encouraged to bring their own
device to school for learning. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) supports the delivery of 21st
century learning. It enhances the learning process and prepares students for future studies and
careers.
Students have a wide range of opportunities to use their device throughout the year. It encourages student engagement through the use of multimedia task and projects. Please refer to the 2025 BYOD Information Booklet.pdf for more specific program information.
