At FGHS we want to support all families to ensure their child has the best possible device for learning. If you have a device for your child, it is important to ensure it has specifications that enable learning. We have prepared a Parent Device Checklist that you can use for this purpose, or for reference when purchasing a new device. 

​

We have also established a relationship with Harvey Norman, a leading company, that can provide some options for device purchases.

If for any reason, you are unable to provide an appropriate device for your child(ren) at this time, FGHS offers a number of options to assist your family. Please read on for further information.

Have a Device at Home

​

If you have a device at home already please read the Device Specifications and Student Requirements document and the BYOD Checklist. You can also check out this workflow to ensure your child is BYOD ready.

Do Not Have a Device at Home?

​

We understand that not all families currently have a device at home for use. For day to day use, we offer a ‘day loan’ system. To access this support, you will need to fill out a Laptop Day Loan Request Form form via this website or, complete a hard copy from the library.

 

The workflow below will guide the process for Day Loans. In the event that you require a long term solution, please contact the school directly.
