For public and independent schools Schools

IT for schools, from someone who ran school IT.

Managed IT, security and network support for Adelaide public and independent schools. Founded by someone who spent 15 years running IT for the South Australian Department for Education.

What we cover

The parts of IT your industry actually runs on.

Classroom and staff IT

Interactive displays, staff laptops, printers, and the network they all sit on. Set up to work, and fixed fast when they do not.

Student data privacy

Access controls, data handling and retention aligned with departmental expectations and duty-of-care obligations.

BYOD and 1:1 device programs

Practical management of student devices, Wi-Fi that copes, and filtering that meets duty of care without breaking learning.

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for Education

Whichever your school runs, deployed and managed properly, with education licensing done right.

Network and Wi-Fi

Infrastructure that copes with 30 devices per classroom, playground coverage, and the guest network for parent nights.

NAPLAN and assessment infrastructure

Testing days that go smoothly because someone thought about capacity before the test window.

Why schools choose ZenByte

Local, literate in your world, since 2014.

Adelaide-based since 2014. Founded by Geoff Woodberry after 15 years as ICT Manager at the South Australian Department for Education. That is not a marketing line. It means we have deployed at scale in South Australian schools, dealt with the same vendors you deal with, and understand what a Term 4 IT priority list looks like from the inside.

Schools typically run our managed IT service for the classroom and office day-to-day, with cyber security controls sized for student data and duty of care rather than a corporate template.

How we work

Three steps. No big bang.

  1. 01

    Audit

    Two weeks of read-only. We document what you have, where the risks are, and what is costing you more than it should.

  2. 02

    Onboard

    Tooling deployed quietly in the background. No flag-day cutover, and nothing disruptive scheduled inside your busy periods.

  3. 03

    Manage

    Monthly review, quarterly roadmap, annual budget conversation. You always know what is coming next and what it will cost.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you work with both public and independent schools?

Yes. We support both, and we understand the different funding, procurement and governance environments each operates in.

Can you manage a BYOD program?

Yes. Onboarding, network access, filtering and support processes that work for students, teachers and parents without consuming your front office.

Do you understand departmental systems?

Our founder ran ICT inside the SA Department for Education for 15 years, so yes, including the practical realities the documentation does not cover.
