Jindalee State School has a Bring Your Own Device program (BYOx) for Years 3 - 6. This initiative allows students to bring their own personal technology device to school and use it for educational purposes under the direction of their teacher. In 2026, Year 3 students will bring an iPad to school and Years 4-6 students will bring a laptop.
Our school has implemented a technical service called BYOxLink. To support this, Jindalee State School uses Education Queensland's provided mobile device management (MDM) tool, Microsoft Intune. Intune allows our school to distribute a wireless network profile and curriculum related applications to our students' devices.
School staff can only access school information through Intune and cannot:
see personal information
monitor what happens on the device
track or locate the device
see information on installed personal applications (other than school applications)
uninstall applications, including personal ones.
BYOxLink enables students and parents to install the School Wi-Fi (EQNET) and apps onto their devices from home streamlining the set-up process so students and their devices are ready for learning before coming to school. This makes student access to the school's Wi-Fi faster, safer and more efficient.
Extensive information about both our Laptop and iPad Programs can be found under the appropriate headings on this page. You may like to view our Parent Information Session slides or video alongside these handbooks and setting up guides.
Parents are also required to understand and complete the 2026 Jindalee SS Parent BYOx Agreement – Fill out form, prior your child's device coming to school.
The 2026 Student BYOx Participation Agreement will be completed in class, at school during the first week.
