BYOD Parent Information
Thank you to all who attended the Parent Connect on 11th May, where we discussed the implementation of BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (Apple) at MCS commencing in 2024. A copy of the slide deck can be found below:
Please note that all families will be offered the opportunity to purchase your child’s current device (in its current state). This offer will be Round 1 and made in early Term 3 (see costing on slide deck). Parents should note/be aware of their child’s grade in 2024 to ensure the current device will be suitable/usable. As discussed at the information night, Years 11 and 12 (2024) families will be contacted with details of arrangements for these classes during the transition period of 2024 and 2025. The FAQ sheet is available below to assist our families. Any families who have further questions, email byodmedowie@acc.edu.au in order for the school to get back to you and help with your circumstances.
