Learning Technology Tip
Year 9 Parents.
A reminder to all parents and carers of Year 9 students that the 3-year lease of your child’s MacBook Air will finish at the end of this year, 2018. Ownership of the MacBook will be transferred to parents once all finances have been paid.
All machines will be restored to factory settings in the second last week of Term 4. Students should make sure all backups on Google File Stream are completed before this time. If you know your child will be absent at this time of the year, please see the IT staff for further instructions.
As per school policy an identical arrangement (ie a three-year-leasing program) will occur with all students commencing Year 10. This coincides with the 3-year warranty on all MacBooks and completion of senior schooling.
