During the junior primary years students have access to iPads during the school day. They do not bring them home and iPads remain the property of the school.
During Years 3-6 REC operates a 1:1 Chromebook model.
The College provides students with a Chromebook device in Year 3 as part of a Commitment to Pay agreement, which is paid in 4 annual instalments over 4 years. Once the final instalment is paid, ownership of the device transfers to the parent/carer. Parents/carers are required to complete a Commitment to Pay form prior to collecting the device in Week 0.

While there are no hard limits on device specifications, we highly recommend a modern laptop to ensure compatibility with the school network and ease of access.
User agreements are updated each year and must be signed by both parent/caregiver and student. Access to the schools resources may be denied if this agreement isn’t signed by parent/caregiver and student and returned before the due date.
