1 to 1 Laptops @ OLSCC
In 2020, students from Years 7-12 will continue their learning using the 1 to 1 Laptop programme. At OLSCC we want our students to be able to work digitally in order to achieve mastery learning in academic pursuits. This initiative is a part of the integration with CANVAS and classroom technology which are important elements in the learning journey of students at the College.
The Laptops used in the programme are high quality devices that ensure that students can access all curriculum requirements developed by teachers. The programme is backed up by technical expertise within the College. The supply of the laptop is through a lease agreement over 3 years. The family contribution to the cost of the laptop is approximately 50% of the total cost of the device. After the 3-year period students have the opportunity to by the laptop for $100.00.
A package of information will be distributed to Year 6 students transitioning to Year 7 at OLSCC early next week. New enrolments to the College in Years 7-12 will also receive relevant documentation. A cover letter will accompany this information which will explain in greater depth the 1 to 1 Laptop programme.
It is important, that as an organization preparing young people for a digital world, that we use 21st Century technology.
