Devices purchased through the portal are delivered directly to The Heights School. The school will configure and manage it with the software, settings and cybersecurity protections required for learning at The Heights School.<\/p>\n<p>The school will also assist families with device support. If a device requires warranty service or repair, the school will act on behalf of the family and coordinate the repair or service with the supplier.<\/p>\n<p>Benefits for families:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm cs-ta-left x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 50px;\" ><ul id=\"\" class=\"x-ul-icons\" style=\"\" ><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>A range of school-approved devices selected for student learning.<\/li><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>Devices configured and ready to use when provided to the student.<\/li><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>Consistent software, security, and connectivity across the school.<\/li><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>A clear support pathway through the school when warranty service or repair is required.<\/li><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>Three-year warranty including Accidental Damage Coverage.<\/li><li id=\"\" class=\"x-li-icon\" style=\"font-size: 20px;\" ><i class=\"x-icon-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"color: hsl(211, 77%, 61%);\" data-x-icon-s=\"&#xf101;\" ><\/i>A planned device replacement cycle to help families avoid unexpected device purchases.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><div id=\"\" class=\"x-container max width\" style=\"margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;\" ><div  class=\"x-column x-sm cs-ta-left x-1-1\" style=\"padding: 0px;\" ><ul id=\"\" class=\"x-ul-icons\" style=\"\" ><\/ul><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text h5\" style=\"\" ><p>Phased transition<br \/>\nThe new program will be introduced progressively from 2027.<\/p>\n<p>From Term 1, 2027, new devices for <strong>Year 7 and Year 10 students<\/strong> will be purchased through the BYOD Portal.
