The ACT Government started a program called “Better schools for our kids- technology enabled learning program” in 2018. The program ensures that every student in years 7 to 12 in ACT public school gets access to a Chromebook device to enhance their learning experience.
Families who do not wish for their child to have a government supplied Chromebook will have to arrange purchasing one at their own cost. The school is not liable to pay, repair or maintain the personally arranged devices.
Students must bring their Chromebooks fully charged to school each day. Charging is available in the Library IT office during break times only.
Students must report any lost/stolen and damaged devices immediately to the IT office in the Library.
We have measures in practice to trace down and remotely disable the lost/stolen devices so no one can use them.
The department provides repair services for the Chromebook covered under warranty.
A loan device will be provided while the Chromebooks is repaired.
When a student leaves the ACT Public school system permanently or moves to an interstate school then they will need to return their Chromebook and chargers to the school before they leave.
If a student moves from one ACT Public School to another ACT Public School, they are allowed to take their devices to their new school.
