In 1974, John Barbuto (aka 'JB') established JB Hi-Fi from a tiny store in Victoria. Forty-eight years on, the JB Hi-Fi Group is one of Australasia's largest and most trusted retail brands. In 2016, we acquired The Good Guys, a leading Australian retailer of home appliances and consumer electronics. Today almost 200 JB Hi-Fi and 100 Good Guys stores deliver an extensive range of consumer electronics, mobile devices, games and consoles, music and audio systems, home theatres, car audio, instruments, cooking appliances and white goods from the world's leading brands. The JB Hi-Fi Education BYOD program offers tailored technology product portals for schools, universities and other education providers. These online catalogues make it easy for parents, caregivers and students to view products that meet the requirements of their school’s IT infrastructure.
JB Hi-Fi Education was founded as a service-oriented organisation in the education sector and due to high demand has evolved into a reseller of specialised education devices. Our mission is to provide schools with a single-source solution to support all educational ICT requirements, including BYOD. Our superior level of service extends beyond simply supplying the device. With over 20 years of industry experience, we are well placed to assist schools with additional services to add further value. As a trusted brand, we have delivered thousands of BYOD programs to Australian schools providing a comprehensive and innovative range of education-ready products with competitive pricing.
Schools today face increasing pressure to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in ICT and understanding how it aligns with their curriculum. JB Hi-Fi Education partners with schools to address challenges and aspirations for introducing 21st century learning, with a view to embed technology into learning and teaching practices. Solutions reflect curriculum and pedagogical objectives, with technology being adapted in a way that engages, inspires and unites the school community.
