Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Hutt Valley High School encourages all students to bring their own devices to school as part of our BYOD approach. Over 90% of our Year 9 students bring Chromebooks, allowing them to access important resources, course materials, and assessments online.

The best device for learning is a Chromebook or laptop, which lets students type and easily organise files on Google Drive. Some students also use a tablet with a keyboard attached, which is also suitable for learning. 

Devices should meet the following specifications:

  • Able to run Google apps (essential)
  • Wireless capability
  • Robust, highly portable, lightweight and able to fit into a school bag

Please note that tablets without a keyboard or mobile phones are unsuitable. 

The library has a limited supply of Chromebooks for students without their own devices that can be borrowed during the school day.  Students should visit the library before their first class to see if a Chromebook is available to borrow.
