Over the last few years, our Senior School Technology Officer has been developing strategies to ensure improvements in IT systems and processes. An enormous amount of work has been completed in ensuring better hardware has been built into classes, better internet connections and new wiring and Wi-Fi capability and improvements to our surveillance systems with the introduction of more and better quality CCTV to assist in monitoring safety and out of hours security. The current phase of improvements include an upgrade of our PA system and the launch of our new website. I thank Mr Grana for his time, effort and expertise in ensuring we have the best equipment available for our students and staff.

To continue the streamlining of our IT processes, next week you will receive an email asking you to agree to certain conditions should your child need to borrow a computer from the College. When students fail to charge their devices or these need repair, our technology assistants will sometimes offer a loan device. As you would be aware, these are expensive devices and we need to ensure students take responsibility for their care and appropriate use. If you do not want your child to have access to these daily loan devices, there will be a spot for you to indicate this. If you do wish your child to have this access, we ask for your agreement to the appropriate conditions. This will be outlined in the Compass 'Technology Loan Device Agreement' event notification which will be sent out next week.
