BYOD Portal

Xavier Catholic College has partnered with JB Hi-Fi Education to offer a BYOD Portal for parents to view and purchase devices for their children. 

You will be asked to enter a School Code to see our preferred devices when accessing the portal. The College's School Code is XCCBallina.

Please note that families are not required to use this portal and are welcome to purchase a suitable device from their chosen supplier.
