Technology plays a significant role in the way our young people learn and how education is delivered in the modern classroom. Immediate access to the world at large through the internet and the capacity to employ industry-specific software in specialised learning areas are fundamental to ensuring that our students develop the 21st century skills that they require to be successful in the future. The role of teacher has moved beyond simply transferring information in a top-down communication model to facilitating student-led knowledge acquisition and collaborative learning.
To support our parents and school community, Longreach State High School offers a
Laptop Hire Scheme to provide students in years 7 to 10 with the required device, ongoing IT support, and accidental damage coverage. Details of the scheme are included in your enrolment pack.
Alternatively, students may supply their own laptop through the Department of Education's
BYOx v2 scheme. Personally provisioned laptops must meet the requirements outlined in the enrolment pack and must be enrolled in our network through
Microsoft Intune. For consistency, support and affordability, we recommend that all families join the
Laptop Hire Scheme to acquire a school-provisioned device.
