Warners Bay Primary School has developed its One to One program as part of NSW Education's Bring Your Own Device policy.
The policy encourages schools to allow students to incorporate technology into their day-to-day learning.
Warners Bay Primary is one of the first schools in the state to apply the One to One program.
In 2011 when the program was introduced at Warners Bay, 95 per cent of students and parents were interested.
The students said they loved using their computers and that it made learning "fun".
The laptops are rented by families.
Principal Peter Byrne said the program had empowered teachers to customise the curriculum for students.
