Ordering Instructions

Chromebooks for use in 2025-27 will be purchased through the Learning with Technologies Online Portal.

There will be options for purchasing a protective bag and an extended warranty that includes accidental damage cover. These items will incur an additional cost. There is also a delivery, administration and handling fee.

We strongly advise parents to consider the three-year insurance/accidental damage cover as the touch screens of the Chromebook are expensive to repair and replace.

The Chromebook you order through the Learning with Technologies Online Portal will be delivered to your home address or any nominated post office. You will be notified by email when it has arrived at your nominated post office.

The Chromebook will be used over the next three years 2025-27.

LWT Online Portal

To order your Chromebook please go to http://fhs.orderportal.com.au/.

You can select to buy outright or with finance. Select any additional insurance/warranty and a protective bag (both strongly recommended). Proceed to entering your personal details and then to checkout for your payment arrangements. The Ordering Portal is now open and deliveries will begin early December. Orders should be made by Tuesday January 14th 2025, so that you have your Chromebook in your possession by January 24nd 2025 in order to be comfortable with the device.

Financial Assistance

Families genuinely requiring financial assistance should contact the General Office of Footscray High School on 9112 9500 and the possibility of making alternative arrangements for payment may be discussed.

We request that all Year 7 students wait until the second week of the 2025 school year before bringing their Chromebook to school. The exact date will be confirmed. We are conscious that Year 7 students have to become familiar with beginning secondary school and we will delay requiring the Chromebooks until students have settled into the routines of their secondary schooling. This will also give students ample time to become familiar with their allocated lockers.
