From Term1, 2017, Sydney Secondary College, Balmain will be a fully 'Bring Your Own Device' campus. The expectation of all students is that they will bring their devices to school to enable them to properly access the teaching and learning programs in all subjects.
Over the last year, there has been a huge investment in technology, with most classrooms now having state of the art projection and sound systems in place. Continued investment and professional development will ensure that Balmain has a progressive approach towards the use of technology.
For further information about device specification, free apps and connectivity issues, please refer to balmainbyod.com.
Students can use chromebooks, Windows products or Apple devices.
