LEARNING

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.
