For years 10, 11 and 12, Capella State High School participates in the Bring Your Device (BYOD) scheme. Students in years 10,11 and 12 must supply their own device in order to be able to participate fully in the senior secondary curriculum. BOYD is a pathway supporting the delivery of 21st century learning. It is a term used to describe a digital device ownership model where students or staff use their personally-owned mobile devices to access the department’s information and communication (ICT) network.
Students of years 7 to 9 participate in our
iPad Student Resource Scheme.
End of support for Windows 10From Tuesday 14 October 2025,
Microsoft will no longer support any device using Windows 10 as an operating system. As a result, any computer using a Windows 10 operating system may experience issues with connecting to the school network or accessing certain learning resources. This is because, after this date, Windows 10 will no longer receive security protection and updates from Microsoft, putting school and student information at risk.
Parents and carers of students with devices that are compatible with Windows 11 should be encouraged to upgrade their device to Windows 11 before October 2025. Compatible devices can be upgraded by parents and carers by following the steps on ways to install Windows 11 External link.
