The Smith Family’s goal is for all Learning for Life students to be digitally included by June 2027. This means that every student is able to access a laptop device, reliable internet at home, and resources to improve digital literacy and safety skills.
With the initial roll out of devices, The Smith Family will prioritise students on a needs basis and consider:
Number of students within the family without access to a device
Students transitioning to high school who do not have access to a device
Students from Year 4 (when schools often introduce Bring Your Own Device ) and Year 10 (compulsory years of schooling)
The Smith Family also asks families on an annual basis to update their Digital Status on our family portal called My Smith Family. This includes providing the number of devices and type of home internet connection.
This helps us to understand what digital resources families have so we can monitor delivery effectively.
