Technology Devices
In 2025, the School will begin phasing out the current BYOD program and, we are excited to announce, our School Provided Technology Program (SPTP) will commence in 2025. This program marks phase one of equipping our entire student community with the latest iPad Air (13in iPad Air in Years 5, 7, 9, 11 and an 11in iPad Air in Year 3). Like other similar schools, Guildford Grammar will be introducing an annual Resource Levy as part of its fees structure.
