Overview
The goal of this page is to assist parents and students in setting up their school device, intended to use with the Shailer Park SHS BYOD program. This is done by registering your students device with our Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool Microsoft Intune. Through Intune we are able to automatically install the required Wifi settings and distribute school owned versions of the applications your student will need to install for class.
Prerequisites
To successfully complete the following tasks you will need the following.
- Your Students Education Queensland Username.
- Your Students Education Queensland Email Address.
- Your Students Education Queensland Password
- Your Students BYOD Device is setup and on the home screen.
- Your Students BYOD Device is connected to the internet.
Student Usernames and Passwords
Education Queensland Usernames a generally created with the first letter of a students given name, and the first four letters of their surname.
ie. Peter Parker would get a username like 'ppark123'
Occasionally a students middle initial is used and only the first three letters of their surname is used
ie. Peter Benjamin Parker would get a username like 'pbpar77'
Student emails are simply their username @eq.edu.au or from our first example Peter would get the email ppark123@eq.edu.au
We are unable to view student passwords, however if you know your student has previously attended an Education Queensland (EQ) State School and have any questions reguarding their username or password, please contact the admin office and we can assist you.
If your student is from out of state or has for any other reason not previously attended an EQ School they may have to wait until after their first school day to recieve their school account information.
Preparing your Device - iPad
Before registering a personal device to the schools Mobile Device Management tool, it needs to be setup for personal use.
For iPads this will involve the creation of an apple ID for your student and using that to complete the initial setup of the device.
It is strongly reccommended that students do not use their school email for setting up a personal device.
Student accounts are only remain active whilst enrolled in an Education Queensland School so to avoid getting locked out of personaly owned devices, it is recommended that you use a personally created email.
Children under the age of 13 are unable to create Apple ID's, however apple has created the Apple Family Sharing toolset which can allow a Parent or Guardian to create a 'Child' Account on behalf of a young student.
