STUDENT COMPUTERS 2014
Parents will have seen lots of items in recent newsletters about buying student computers.
It is not compulsory for all students to buy a new computer immediately. We will still have access to
computer trolleys in ?Year 7 rooms and other areas of the school currently equipped with notebooks.
We do hope parents can make plans to provide their students with their own device as this allows the
computer to be accessed at home as well and greatly improves learning possibilities.
If you have any concerns or questions about what is required please see our website “latest news”
section or call the school.
The website news can be accessed at http://www.newcombsc.vic.edu.au/news-events/latest-news
