SMC One to One Technology Program
St Mary’s College, Gunnedah (The College) will provide a Chromebook to all new students in 2022, including the Year 7 cohort. A technology levy will be charged for the use of the Chromebook device whilst the student is enrolled at The College. $120 per year will be added to College fees for Year 7, 8 and 9 students. Please note that the levy will be $150 per year for Year 10, 11 and 12 students who opt into the program due to the slightly more sophisticated model.
If a student ceases enrolment, the Chromebook must be returned. If the Chromebook is not returned, the full cost of the Chromebook will be charged to families.
It is the policy of the Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Armidale, that Chromebook devices have an expected lifespan of 3 years. At the end of this period, The College will decide whether to retain the device, sell the device at an agreed market price, or give students the device they were allocated.
