As of NOW – BYOD is compulsory for year 7 to College 2. A device is a small laptop, tablet or Chromebook – not a phone! Every student from Year 7 to College 2 is required to bring a device to school every day. We don't encourage expensive devices. This link to our website provides info on suggested affordable devices: LBHS BYOD Website
We understand that it can be difficult to afford devices, especially if there are multiple children in the family. Please feel free to contact our CLO Mrs Kim Bertoia to discuss this confidentially. Mrs Bertoia can offer information and assistance regarding loans, financial assistance and affordable devices.

There is a direct link to regular reading and student academic achievement. This year all students in Years 7 to 9 have been subscribed to the Renaissance Reading program. Each term students complete an online comprehension test to measure their growth in reading for understanding. Guided by their result or reading ability, students select books and read in Home Room time every day for twenty minutes and then complete quizzes online. All students must have their book in their bag each day for reading and a laptop in order to complete the quizzes. Additionally, we have also subscribed all students in the school from 7 to College to MyOn.com which gives them access to thousands of online resources and books. MyOn.com is also linked to Renaissance. Students can read books (mostly non-fiction) and complete quizzes. Students are monitored regularly for their reading engagement and improvement in reading and comprehension skills. Students who are performing below benchmarks are encouraged to read more regularly at home and choose books that are at the right level and interest. If parents need any more information about their son’s reading levels please contact Mrs Kelly on 9602 7979 or email sharon.louise.kelly@det.nsw.edu.au.
Student Engagement Faculty
The Extension English Elective participated in a workshop called Art Write Light by the Story Factory. Richard Short came to the school to run a workshop that focused on writing a sequence of flash fiction pieces that used artist Ernest Aaron’s three original artworks exploring the fragmented and episodic nature of the modern world, using brilliant colours and pop-culture references. A selection of work created by students in these workshops will be featured in an installation and launch event to be held during Term 4 2020 at Story Factory Parramatta. The launch event will feature audio recordings of student work, a light-based installation of student writing and a second artwork from Ernest Aaron responding to the student writing created as part of the project, closing the loop of creative responses.
On Thursday the 18th June, students who are completing the Performance option for their Drama Individual Project participated in Belvoir Street Theatres Performing Monologues Digital Workshop. They were guided through a series of exercises by Chelsea Zellar – who an actress, writer and comedian! During the hour and a half online workshop students participated in different activities and worked on how to perform monologues on the stage. Students came out of this workshop more prepared to perform their HSC monologues in Week 6 of this term. This experience was thanks to Belvoir!
