BYO Devices

Kangaroo Inn Area School is now using the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) portal as part of the School Device Program. Families can use the portal to view and purchase approved devices for our school.

To get started:

  1. Go to our school’s BYOD portal: KIAS BYOD
  2. Login with your email and password or select ‘Create an Account’ if you haven’t logged in before.
  3. Enter your email address and create a password.
  4. Check your email and follow the instructions to confirm your email address.

Devices and accessories will be delivered to our school. When placing an order, please include your child’s name, year level and student ID (if known) so we can provide their device as quickly as possible.

The department aims keep prices as stable as possible. However, prices may change due to factors outside out control such as supplier pricing, component shortages or product updates.

If you need help using the portal, placing an order or making a payment, use the Need Help? section in the portal.
