Year 11 Device Health Checks

Before the end of this term, the ICT team will conduct device health checks on Year 11 devices, to ensure students are maintaining their school-issued devices in good working order. Regular checks help prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs, ensuring devices remain functional for learning. 

If a device does not meet expected standards, it will be sent for necessary repairs to maintain reliability and performance. Where available, a loan device will be provided for a short period until the student’s College-owned device is returned and repaired. 

We appreciate your support in reinforcing good device maintenance habits at home, ensuring students have access to reliable tools for their education.

Spare/Loan Laptops 

Spare laptops are issued to students only if their primary device is unavailable due to circumstances beyond their control. Situations caused by student negligence, misuse, or personal fault do not qualify for a replacement device. This policy encourages students to take responsibility for the care and proper use of their devices, ensuring spares are reserved for cases where issues arise through no fault of the student.  

Student Responsibility and Accountability 

The school reserves the right to enforce appropriate consequences when the Acceptable Use of ICT and Digital Citizenships Agreement is broken, whether intentional or not. 

The broken agreement could result in one or more of the following:  

• loss of privileges on a laptop 

• payment of costs for accidental or negligent damage 

• restrictions on apps being used, shutting down of the computer at specified times 

• the loss of the use of the computer for an amount of time determined by College Leadership and the ICT Department 

• possible disciplinary action 

• possible legal action
