Students are responsible for their device at all times. Insuring your child’s device is strongly recommended. Check with your insurance agent to see if your homeowner’s or renter’s policy, covers personal electronic devices. Alternately, you may be able to purchase additional insurance through the retailer
Repairs – repairs are the responsibility of the student and parent. School personnel will not be involved in repairing student-owned devices.
Screen care – screens can be damaged if subjected to rough treatment. The screen is particularly sensitive to damage if excessive pressure is placed on it. Clean the screen with a soft, dry anti-static or micro-fibre cloth. Please do not use any type of liquid or water on the device.
General precautions – food or drink should not be placed near your device while it is in use. Cords and removable storage devices (i.e. pen-drive) should be inserted carefully into the device. Devices should be protected from extreme temperatures. Extreme heat or cold may cause damage.
We currently have Chromebooks for use at Yr 4 to Yr 8. There is not one for each student so they will still need to share devices. Students who come to school with a device will have all day access to that device when the learning experience calls for one. Those students without a device will need to wait their turn and share a school device to complete their work on.
Yes, as this enables your child to access learning tools at both home and school. Here at school, we will guide and monitor device usage and parents will need to guide and monitor use at home. Devices are tools for learning at school – they will complement and enhance the learning environment

St Mary’s School accepts no responsibility for personal property brought to school by students. Students who choose to bring a device to school assume total responsibility for the device. Devices that are stolen or damaged are the responsibility of the student and their parents or guardians.
