Bring Your Own Device

GEIS is a Google School and all teachers regularly utilise devices for interactive, creative and collaborative online learning. We strongly recommend that if possible, students come to school each day with their own Chromebook computer for learning as they are cost efficient, robust, work perfectly with our network and are built for learning due to their lack of distractions. Then learning can continue from home when needed. When purchasing a device for your child, there are a few other aspects to consider:

  • Portability and weight
  • Durability - case / screen protector / insurance
  • Local High School B.Y.O.D. Year 9 Options (Please note that Green Bay High School is fully BYOD chromebook only if you are thinking ahead).
  • Battery Life - Aim to last for 6 hours without charging - chargers can get lost at school and be a hazard
  • Speed at start-up
  • Word Processing Ease e.g keyboard

Here are our minimum recommended Chromebook specs:

  • Screen Size: 10''
  • Storage Capacity: 16GB
  • Processing RAM: 4GB
  • Wifi: 802.11g
  • Battery Life: 6+ Hours
  • Protection: Protective Carry Case
  • Headphones: Headphones for video lessons

Online Safety

Glen Eden Intermediate School partners with Linewize to offer a 24/7 collaborative approach between home and school, ensuring our students' online safety across all devices and locations. We encourage all families to actively participate in their child's online safety at home, and we are here to support you. Linewize provides a free Parent Safety App, Qustodio, which allows you to monitor and manage your child’s screen time. This app can also be used to protect siblings attending other schools.
