Dear Parents/Guardians

Noble Park Secondary College is proud to announce that in conjunction with Learning with Technologies the College will be offering a Buy Your Own Device Laptop Program in 2018.

Learning with Technologies has created an Order Portal that will suit parents, students and the College. There are 3 different devices on offer. All devices meet the Department of Education and the College’s minimum specification for BYO Devices.

All devices purchased through the Order Portal will be shipped to Noble Park Secondary College and distributed to your child/children from the IT Office. Staff will contact students when the device is ready to be collected.

The Department of Education and Training (DET) has enterprise agreements which allow the download and installation of particular software, to support BYOD initiatives. These include:

• Adobe - Allows students to download and install Adobe Creative Cloud (and some other software) for free on one personally owned device.

• Microsoft - Allows students to download the full suite of Microsoft Office applications for use on their personal BYOD devices.

WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE:

Please see next page for FAQs and the attached flyer for more information. If this information has not answered your questions please contact the front office during school hours.

Parents/Guardians will be notified once the Order Portal is open for orders.

Yours sincerely

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQuestions about ProductsWhat features are important in a school environment?Battery: At least a 7 hour battery to get through the day.Weight: It is generally recommended that any notebook that a student is taking to and from school should be no more than 2KG as otherwise it will add too much weight to their bags.Wireless: Most schools operate what is known as a 5Ghz or Dual Band Wireless network - most notebooks we sell ship with 5Ghz Dual Band Wireless.Screen Size: Choosing a screen size depends on how your child is going to use the unit. If it is primarily for information research such as web browsing and basic office applications a 11.6” screen will suffice. If the student is going to do more project work on the device a larger screen may be appropriate.Processor: This affects the performance of the unit in order of slowest to fastest processors go - Pentium Dual Core, Core i3, i5, i7. As a rule if you a doing web browsing and basic office applications then a Pentium Dual Core are fine if you are doing more intensive project work then choose a Core i processor.

What is a solid state drive?Solid State Disks is a new technology replacing old mechanical disks. These disks are up to 5 times faster than older style disks and are less likely to fail as they don’t have moving parts. They do cost more and give you less storage space though.

Questions about PaymentWhat methods can I pay by?Credit Card, PayPal, Direct Deposit, Interest Free.

Is my credit card secure online?We use a secure Westpac portal to process credit cards.

My credit card doesn’t work online what’s wrong?Our credit card portal uses a technology called 3D Secure to stop credit card fraud unfortunately not all banks subscribe to this service and some cards may be declined.

If this happens you can continue your order by choosing another payment method such as Paypal or use “Over the Phone” and we’ll process it from there.

Can I pay in instalments?You can pay in instalments but we cannot place the order for your products until we get full payment. To help spread your cost we do offer an Interest Free option.

What is Interest Free?Interest Free options are supplied by GE Money and give you an interest free period with repayments. Please note that interest free may not be available on all products. There is a $99 annual fee with these cards and it is strongly recommended you read the terms andconditions carefully if applying for a card.
