From 2026, Truganina College will provide enough devices for ALL students to use in their classroom. This means that parents no longer have to buy their child a device and children will no longer be required to bring their own device to school.

This change brings many benefits:

Equity – every child has the same access to technology.
Savings – no extra costs for families.
Safety – greater eSafety controls and protections.
Support – devices managed and maintained by the College.

What if my child already has a device?

If your child currently has a personal device, they are welcome to continue using it at home to support homework or personal learning. However, from 2026, school-based learning will take place on College-managed devices only.

Why has Truganina College made this change?

This decision has been made for several important reasons:
– Equity: Every child deserves the same access to learning tools. Not all families are in a position to purchase devices, and we want to remove this financial pressure.
– E-Safety: School-managed devices allow us to provide a safer online experience for students.
We can better manage what students access, improving their digital wellbeing and protecting
them online.
– Consistency: When all students use the same type of device and applications, teachers can
provide clearer instructions, consistent learning experiences, and better support in the
classroom.
– Reduced Costs for Families: Families will no longer need to purchase, insure, or maintain
personal iPads or devices for school use.
– Better Learning Outcomes: Centralised device management allows us to ensure that all digital tools are updated, reliable, and ready for learning — meaning fewer disruptions and more time focused on teaching.

This improvement reflects our College’s ongoing commitment to equity, safety, and excellence in learning to BELIEVE, ACHIEVE, & SUCCEED
