Middle School Digital Learning Programme
All Middle School students (including new students) manage their own laptop as a part of the Digital Learning Programme. Students register their laptop as their 'primary' device. All students should have their laptop ready for the first day of school. These students can also register a 'secondary' device, but this is limited to a smartphone or tablet.
Students are welcome to visit the ICTS HelpZone for support. If a problem is identified with the laptop, the student will be advised of next steps, which may include referral back to the retailer. Please ask your retailer for details of warranties prior to purchase.
