College Learning Vision

"At Redlynch State College we foster creative, engaged and global ready learners through the delivery of personalised, inclusive, flexible and innovative approaches and environments".


BYOx Program

Redlynch State College has adopted a Bring Your Own ‘x’ (BYOx) program for the Primary and Secondary Campus.​

BYOx is a new pathway supporting the delivery of 21st century learning, and describes a digital device ownership model where students use their privately-owned devices to access the department’s information and communication technology (ICT) network.

BYOx recognizes the demand for seamless movement between school, work, home and play, and our program assists students to improve their learning outcomes in a contemporary educational setting.

By enabling students to become responsible digital citizens, our BYOx program enhances the teaching learning process and achievement of student outcomes as well as the skills and experiences that will prepare them for their future studies and careers.

The Redlynch State College BYOx program:

  • Equips students with the skills they require to live work and play in 21st century.

  • Enables students to become responsible digital citizens. 

  • Immerses students in investigating, creating and communicating using ICT.

  • Enables students to manage and operate with ICTs effectively and efficiently.

  • Improves student engagement.

Benefits include: 

  • Personalised learning.

  • Improved collaboration.

  • Greater choice and independence for students.

  • Increased enthusiasm for lifelong learning.

  • Seamless integration of technology between home and school. 

  • 24/7 access to learning.
