2025 CHS Student Laptop Program
In accordance with the Department for Education’s new Digital Strategy, Craigmore High School will be providing all Year 7 and 10 students with a digital device. These laptops will be connected to the school’s networked resources and will be maintained by the school. Students may use these laptops at school and at home. This will provide email and access to online school resources, up-to-date software, secure data and file storage and printing services.
Each laptop has a three year onsite professional warranty as well as Accidental Damage Protection. We will require a $200 deposit for each device refundable on return in good condition at the end of the three years or upon leaving the school.
In 2025, the minimum specifications for these devices are:
- 256HB SSD
- 13.3 inch screen
- USB C charger support
- Intel i5 or equivalent AMD
- Windows 11
All continuing Year 8 and 11 students will be re-issued with the device they had in 2024 and new enrolments in Years 8 and 11 will be issued with a device with the above minimum specifications.
For Year 9 and 12 students, the BYOD program will continue to be supported as in past years but there will not be any devices made available for sale through the school. Devices will be progressively distributed to Year 7 and 10s each year and every student will have access to a school owned device by 2026. BYOD devices will no longer be supported by the IT Helpdesk for Years 7, 8, 10 and 11. School daily loan devices will be prioritised for Year 9 and 12 students who do not have a school owned device.
