💻 Re-imaging laptops: Year 7, Year 8, Year 10 and Year 11
To ensure all Laptop devices support the learning of our students, over the following weeks, ICT will be reimaging all laptops for students in years 7,8,10 and 11. As part of this process ICT will be testing all student laptop chargers and assessing the laptops for any issues. If students have lost their laptop charger, stylus pen or removed their laptop skin we recommend that these be replaced ahead of the laptop imaging. Unfortunately, any damage to the laptop that is not covered by the warranty will incur an excess that we will have to pass on.
Costs for replacement parts:
- Stylus $ 60
- Laptop Charger $48
- Laptop Skin $15
