2026 BYOD Program

Parent Information

Wellington Secondary College is committed to providing students with a technology-rich learning environment. For 2026, families may purchase devices through our approved BYOD partners: Learning with Technologies (for Windows devices) and Compnow (for MacBooks). Both options ensure strong warranty coverage, onsite support, and minimal disruption to learning.

Warranty & Support 

Mandatory Warranty (All Devices)

Every BYOD device is purchased with a minimum 3-year education warranty.

All warranty jobs and repairs are logged and managed by the College IT Support Team. Repairs are carried out onsite at Wellington Secondary College, reducing downtime for students.

Devices Brought From Home 

Families may choose to supply their own BYOD instead of purchasing through the school portals. In these instances, the following conditions apply:

• The device must be equivalent in performance and specifications to those offered on the school BYOD portals (Learning With Technologies or Compnow).

• Devices must run the required operating system and support the required curriculum software.

• Devices for learning purposes cannot be:

  • • iPads

    • Chromebooks

    • Smartphones

    • Android devices

*While the College will provide account and network management, warranty and repair support is the responsibility of families if the device was not purchased through a school portal.
