I am happy to report that almost all of the Year 7 students continue to do a great job looking after their computers and bringing them to school charged and ready to go.  Teachers are developing more digital content for Year 7s through the Class Notebook software and are relying on students to bring their computers to school every day.  Students are reminded that if they have any hardware issue with their device, to come to EBlock and submit their computer for repair and collect a spare computer so they can continue to access their work. 

The IT Department visited all Year 7 students during the last week of Term 2 to inspect their devices and identify any that needed to be repaired over the school holidays.  It is important that all Year 7 devices are in perfect working condition ready for the NAPLAN online trial that is happening in Term 3.

PBC is pleased to announce that the One2One Program will continue in 2020 for the new Year 7 students.  All students are invited to join the program as there will be no provision for BYOD computers to connect to the network in Year 7.  The School is currently investigating a number of computer models for next year.
