All Year 7 student laptops must be configured by our ICT Team before the start of Term 1, 2026. This is to ensure that all required school applications are properly installed and functioning, and that the device can connect to the School’s managed network and access all necessary resources.
Bookings are essential and will be open from 11 November 2025 to 16 January 2026.
The configuration process will take approximately 30 minutes, and the student must be present with their BYOD device during the appointment.
Please ensure that the laptop has been charged up and has the latest Windows updates.
To ensure your child has a smooth start on their first day of Term 1, please make sure a booking is made no later than 16 January 2026.

BYOD Portal
We strongly encourage purchasing your device through the BYOD portal, for numerous reasons;
Education pricing has been negotiated with selected vendors and JB HiFi, which will ensure value for money. For BYOD ordering process please click here.
When purchasing through the portal, you have the opportunity to purchase Accidental Damage Protection (ADP), which includes a 3 year extended warranty on the device. ADP is not available through retail sales channels.
The ICT Team provide a concierge service for students for devices purchased through the BYOD portal. The team provide a loan device students, whilst managing the warranty claim with the vendors/ JB HiFi on your behalf. This concierge service effectively eliminates any impact to learning while the device is being repaired.
A selection of devices for Year 7 students will be available on the BYOD Portal from August 27, 2025.
Please click here to access the BYOD Portal, using “THGSBYOD” for the School code.
If you purchase a device outside the Hills Grammar BYOD portal, please ensure that it meets the 2025/26 BYOD minimum specifications.
