For convenience, Brookfield State School has worked with JB Hi Fi to provide an online portal where you can purchase recommended devices and accessories. You can access this portal by going to: www.jbeducation.com.au/byod and entering our School Code: Brookfield2025 For support with the JB Hi Fi Portal, refer to the help guides However, please feel free to shop independently at any computer retailer. We encourage parents to look at 'After Christmas' and 'Back to School' specials. Either way, we encourage parents to order devices as soon as they can due to device supply shortgaes being experienced by many retailers.
