BYOD

At Bream Bay College a device is considered essential. There will be access to  a limited number computers in all classrooms, but not having a device is a disadvantage. The College recommends a Chromebook as suitable for all students other than those wishing to study Digitech from year 9 to 13 where a laptop is desirable.

If you mention your child is attending Bream Bay College next year to the local computer stores, they may give you a discount also. If they request your child’s email address (to confirm they attend Bream Bay College) this is [email protected] e.g. [email protected]

When choosing a device:
Must have wireless networking capability
Screen should be 11 inches or greater 
Audio out port for ear buds or headphones
A minimum battery life of 6 hours
Web camera with a built in microphone

A device protective cover is desirable.
