At Duncraig SHS we utilise technology to support quality teaching and learning. Technology is used as a tool to support the Teaching and Learning Model, transform educational experiences, increase student engagement, and improve student outcomes.
Our BYOD program allows students to engage in enriched learning experiences and access our online learning platforms including Compass, Office 365, ClickView, Stile, and Education Perfect.
We believe in giving parents some choice on which device their child uses. The following specifications guidelines ensure the device can be supported within the Duncraig SHS network. A Windows or Mac laptop integrates more effectively into our ICT workflow. Devices should comply with the minimum specs listed below:
We do not recommend a Chromebook or iPad.
| Operating System | macOS 14+ | Windows 11 |
| Processor | M3/M4 (Apple) or i5/Ryzen 5 or better (PC) |
| RAM | 8GB (16GB preferred PC) |
| Screen Size | 13 inch or larger |
| Battery Life | 8 hours (recommended) |
| Storage | 128GB SSD or better |
| Wireless | 5Ghz Band Compatibility (802.11ac)
(If the device does not meet this wireless requirement it will not have access to the network) |
Duncraig Senior High School recommends students wishing to study Photography or Media subjects should choose an Apple Mac device to be more compatible with our Media software.
You may purchase your device from any retailer; however Duncraig has organised device bundles with Compnow that offer you support advantages with the device collected from the school if it needs servicing.
You can purchase these bundles from the Compnow portal.
Finance options are available through a third-party product (Humm 90). Please read T&Cs on the portal to see if this product is suitable for your individual needs and financial circumstances. Humm 90 financial services have no affiliation with Duncraig Senior High School.
