BYOD Hire Agreement

At Davidson High School, we support students to access technology for learning. This can be in the short term whilst repairs or replacements are being organised. It can also be in a long term or ongoing capacity should this be required.

The Package
The equipment, referred to in this agreement, consists of a laptop computer, protective carry case, power source, and the department’s standard suite of software, including Microsoft Office. For the purpose of this document, all of these items are referred to collectively as the ‘laptop’.

Each laptop will:
• Remain the property of Davidson High School
• Be set up for an individual student and must not be used by any other student
• Connect to the school network for filtered internet and email usage
• Be protected by anti-virus tools and automated updates
• Be returned to the school in the original condition
• Annual hire fee $100 (or a pro rata amount)

Please note, that once the computer leaves the school grounds, the school network cannot be accessed, and you will need to connect to your home Wi-Fi or hotspot to phones in order to connect to the Google classrooms and Student Portal. There is no DoE filtering of the internet in these circumstances, so parents are required to be vigilant in the supervision of their child’s internet usage.

Note: Use of internet and online communication services can be audited and traced to the account of the user.

Theft, Damage and Loss
• The school will take no responsibility for any theft or damage.
• Where the laptop is damaged or stolen, the school may invoice a student’s parent/caregivers for the full cost of repair or replacement and the misuse of the laptop will be dealt with according to the school’s Discipline Policy.
• Laptops must be returned by the end of the agreement period.

Warranty & Accidental Damage
The school will ensure that the student is provided with a functioning laptop. There is no cover for negligence, abuse or malicious damage.

Any software or hardware issues, vandalism, damage, loss or theft of the laptop must be reported immediately to the school’s office/administration staff or to the IT Department at Davidson High School.

Software
The software loaded on the laptop is licensed to the Department of Education or the school. Students must not install additional software onto the laptop or disable settings for virus protection, spam and/or internet filtering that have been applied as part of the school standard.

Students must not save any files on the desktop and are responsible for the timely backing up of data. Students should also be aware that, in the event that any repairs need to be carried out, the contents of the laptop may be deleted and reformatted.

Care and Use of Laptop
Whilst the laptop is issued to the student, they are responsible for taking care of and securing the laptop.

• When not in use the laptop should be stored in its carry case in a secure location.
• If a laptop is accidentally damaged students must report the damage immediately to administration personnel.
