Change to ICT Charger Shop
Moving forward the ICT Office will no longer be selling laptop chargers for students to purchase onsite. We ask students to head to JB Hi-Fi for their charging needs. For your reference, here is the Microsoft-recommended charger for the Surface Laptop Go 2: Microsoft Surface 127W Power Supply.
Please note that chargers will still be available for loan through the Library.

Whooping Cough
There has been a process change in Public Health Services (PHS) communication with schools in the event of a student testing positive to whooping cough. PHS are now using electronic surveys to communicate with families when their child tests positive to whooping cough. Families are asked to contact the College to inform them if their child has whooping cough.
Public Health further advises:
- increased vigilance for respiratory symptoms among students and staff, particularly for three weeks following notification of whooping cough in the school community (with three weeks being the incubation period for whooping cough)
- students and staff with whooping cough should stay home, until they have finished a five-day course of antibiotics or for three weeks from the start of coughing if not taking antibiotics
The PHS - Communicable Disease Prevention Unit are available for advice via 1800 671 738 or PH: 6166 0655. is available on the Tasmanian Department of Health website at https://www.health.tas.gov.au/publications/whooping-cough-pertussis-fact-sheet.
