• Windows RT
• Tablets
• Androids
• Linux distributions (eg Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc).

Windows 10S devices must be upgraded to Windows 10/11 home or pro in order to join our network - the school cannot provide this service.

* ​EVERYDAY DEVICE

An EVERYDAY device will meet the needs of most students. Its specifications are sufficient for everyday programs such as MS Office, electronic textbooks, online programs and web browsing.

** MEDIA DEVICE

For students with a strong interest and focus in media-based subjects such as Graphics, IT and Art, a MEDIA device will be more appropriate.  Students will need Adobe software which is available through the school.​

iPads are supported attachable keyboard recommended.

​Students enrolled in a Department of Education (DoE) school have access to a range of software, including Microsoft Office 365. Students must download this software using their DoE email address, not a private email address.

Students with a MEDIA device who wish to install ADOBE CC Master Collection will need to collect the program from the IT Department. Students will need to install the program at home, then see the school technicians again to have the product activated.
