Making It Happen policy and Procedures Review

Students who received laptops in the original rollout of Making IT Happen get to know their new devices.

Due to concerns raised by parents regarding our Making IT Happen computer program, through which parents and carers of students in Years 4-6 have the option to purchase a laptop device for their students through the school, a full review of the program is currently underway. The review will be coordinated by a working party consisting of the Principal, two staff members (Mrs McCarthy and Mrs Fliedner), two P&C representatives (Danielle Percival and Karen Knight) and members of the Communication and Technology Portfolio of our Student Parliament. All interested parties will be able to have input into the review process through surveys and information sessions.  Our current Making IT Happen policy and procedures is availible on the school website under the documents tab. The following links will take you to copies of the Department’s Student Bring Your Own Device policy and procedures. and Student BYOD Guidelines

Please take the time to read these documents and take particular note of the key differences between them. This will greatly assist us in developing an updated policy and procedures.
