MacBooks
Along with developing literacy and numeracy skills, 51³Ô¹Ïapp recognises the importance of digital literacy of our students. To complete school work all students require an Apple MacBook, which is acquired through the College MacBook program.
Years 7 – 9
- The MacBook is provided for students in Years 7 – 9 as part of their College fees.
- The College supplies a carry bag and a clip-on hardcover at no charge.
- The College retains ownership of the MacBook which is handed back at the completion of Year 9.
- The MacBooks are bundled with a 3-Year AppleCare+ Warranty which covers accidental damage (including screen breakages *).
- Theft and Water Damage is not covered by the school insurance policy. The Parent/Guardian will be responsible for the replacement of the MacBook should it be stolen or irreparable due to water damage.
Years 10 – 12
- Going into Year 10, students can decide on the best MacBook to suit their subject focus in senior Years.
- Parents have the option to purchase the MacBook of choice outright or repay over 6 months. They can also choose to rent the students’ current MacBook from the College.
- The MacBooks are supplied by the College via an Education Discount which provides a significant saving compared to market prices.
- The MacBooks are bundled with a 3-Year AppleCare+ Warranty which covers accidental damage (including screen breakages *).
- The College retains ownership of the MacBook until the device is paid for in full by the Parent/Guardian.
- All non-warranty repairs are paid for by the Parent/Guardian.
- Insurance on the MacBook is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian. The device may be included under a personal home and contents or a ‘single item’ insurance policy.
* Screen breakage repairs incur a nominal fee of $149.
