Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Purchasing your laptop
Details of devices being used by students at QAS
From term 3 2017 all students in Y7-12 are encouraged to bring their own laptop to school – this is known as “Bring your own device” (BYOD).
ASI is the school's recommended laptop purchase portal. Parents may choose to purchase via the ASI Portal, which is located on our website, or their choice of retailer.
If purchasing from another retailer and NOT ASI, please look carefully at the “Minimum device specifications and considerations – 2017” contained in our BYOD policy which is available on our website. Please follow these guidelines to ensure that what you are being sold will operate successfully at Quorn Area School.
