In keeping with the school motto, “We strive for the best”, Mackay North State High School (MNSHS) will continue striving towards relevant engaging learning environments and experiences that meet the needs of our students in the 21st Century. MNSHS is committed to continuing a 1-to-1 device to student ratio. That is why MNSHS will
introduce Bring Your Own Device (BYOx) program for all grades. (The ‘x’ in the BYOx represents more than a personally-owned mobile device; it also includes software, applications, connectivity or carriage service.)
