School laptop options
School Managed/Owned Device (SMOD) program: Pine Rivers State High School offers a school-managed laptop program where families contribute towards the cost of a school-provided laptop over three years. At the end of the program, ownership of the device transfers to the student. The SMOD program will be available to Year 7 students commencing in 2027.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program: Families may choose to provide their child with a suitable laptop that meets the school’s technology requirements as part of our BYOD program.
Equity laptop program: We recognise that every family’s circumstances are different. School-owned laptops may be available to eligible students whose families require financial assistance, subject to the school’s eligibility criteria.”
