YEAR 7 KEY INFORMATION: WEEK 5

Laptop Checks and Care

The Pastoral Mentors will regularly check student laptops during each term. As a valuable learning tool, these devices must be maintained in good working order. 

 

In line with the Laptop Hire Agreement, please note the following considerations: 

  • Students must use the laptop bags provided when moving around the school.  
  • When not in use, laptops should be secured inside locked lockers.  
  • Laptop skins and name stickers must remain on the laptops and accessories. Significant damage or removal of the laptop skin will result in new skins being ordered as required and the cost incurred by the family.  
  • Accidental damage cover is included within your hire agreement. If a laptop is accidentally damaged, students must take it to the library. This cover is available to every student once every 12 months. Any additional damage within this period will be at the parent/carers’ expense. A loan laptop will be provided during repairs.

Please connect with IT support via College Reception or your Pastoral Mentor with any issues or concerns about your child's laptop.

Subject Spotlight - Mathematics 

In Term 1, Year 7s have been focused on demonstrating and consolidating number operation skills as they transition into High School. This week, they had their first formative test on number operations; this assessment is not part of their final term mark; it just indicates to teachers if students require additional instruction and support as they move through the topics. 

Maths Opportunities

  • Year 11 Maths Tutoring Program: The Year 11 Maths Tutoring Program will begin shortly. To register your child's interest in the Maths Tutoring Program, please connect with Mr Michael James, Head of Maths:  mjames1@cns.catholic.edu.au
