SWIS is a BYOD school, and students are encouraged to bring a device to support their learning.
Students who do not bring a device will still have access to classroom Chromebooks.
If you are considering purchasing a device, we recommend checking Netsafe guidelines to help ensure it is safe and suitable for school use.
As students are only at SWIS for two years, we also suggest considering any device requirements for secondary school when making a purchase.
BYOD Devices for use at South Wellington Intermediate School should have:
- A screen greater than 10”
- Be WIFI capable (recommend WiFI N minimum)
- A working battery with a rated 6-hour use
- A keyboard (can be portable/Bluetooth)
- Up to date operating system and antivirus software
- Must be able to run Google Chrome
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like further information.
