Mount Eliza Secondary College is committed to providing our students with access to learning technologies and online learning. Our Notebook Program aims to improve student engagement in regular classes and provide enhanced teaching and learning practices for both students and teachers. These programs have been successfully implemented in Australia and overseas, and the most dramatic improvements have taken place in environments where students have had their own mobile learning device. In addition, we provide access to the Microsoft 365 suite for students. This allows students to install the Microsoft suite on up to 5 computers to enable students to use a consistent application platform on any device they wish to use.
In partnership with Learning with Technologies (LWT), we have created our own BYOD (Bring your own device) portal that contains a range of recommended tablet devices. These devices provide the flexibility of being used as a touch screen tablet with the full functionality of a traditional notebook. In addition, there is the benefit of a stylus which can annotate anything displayed on the screen and also be used to practice drawing/painting skills providing greater precision over using a finger.
Due to COVID related production constraints that could impact stock, and pricing later this year, it is advisable to place your orders sooner than later. The Portal has an option for a $100 deposit to lock your order in, allowing you to pay the device over time. Once paid in Full, the unit will be shipped.
Please direct any enquiries to info@mesc.vic.edu.au.
Devices can be purchased through our BYOD supplier (LWT). Our recommended configuration includes a 3 year onsite warranty.

Students are expected to bring their notebook to school fully charged and ready to use for the day. The primary purpose of the device is for their learning, and while at school, that is the expectation. Students are required to read, sign and agree to the Acceptable Use document each year which details the appropriate use of ICT. It is also the responsibility of the student to store their device in their secured locker when the device is not in use.
Students will be supplied with access to the following software and web portals to use on their device. This list doesn’t list everything but the main software and services are:
If you already have a computer that you would like to use, we can provide support to connect it to the College WIFI network. However, we ask that you look at the information contained below to ensure that the minimum notebook specifications are met. For devices that are not purchased through the LWT portal, we will provide support to access the College WIFI network and our supplied services but the software and hardware support on the device is entirely your responsibility.
We want students to grow into their identities and become the best versions of themselves.
We display confidence, energy and fresh thinking, sharing our passion for our subjects.
We provide a stimulating school environment where students can learn, live, love and grow.
