Laptop
2023 Digital Learning Device Program
The College runs a managed device laptop program with a prescribed device. Considerable time is spent selecting a suitable device that meets the learning needs of the student over three years, while also remaining affordable for all our families. Significant investment is also made configuring the laptops with software that ensures safety of our students and minimises distractions. All students are expected to have the prescribed device and bring it to school every day.
Students will start the program in Year 7 with a new device that lasts through to the end of Year 9. They will then receive a new device at the start of Year 10 that will last the next three years until the student finishes Year 12. The cost of the device is spread over three years and billed directly to the parents. At the end of each three-year period IT will factory reset the device at which point the parent owns the device.
To assist parents in the transition year there may be some questions about what year level will be using which device:
