​​​​​A new device is not a requirement to be a part of our BYOD program at Elanora SHS. If your student has a device, then it is likely appropriate for use. If you have an existing device, and would like to check its suitability, then please email elearning@elanorashs.eq.edu.au.

Should you wish to purchase a device, the following information is provided to help you purchase a device that is suitable for learning and will last for a number of years.

Purchasing Portals:

Whilst the responsibility for purchasing a device for our BYOD programs lies with the parent and student, Elanora State High has gone to lengths to provide purchasing opportunities that provide devices (and attached service) that best suits our BYOD programs.

Below you can access vendors who already supply devices to Education Queensland schools and are offering arrangements that are similar to what we as a school receive when we purchase. You may wish to use these when purchasing a device for our BYOD program:

NOTE: Due to supply issues, the Lenovo portal is no longer available.​
