LAPTOP LOAN CHARTER

Purpose

The laptop is to be LOANED as a tool to assist student learning both at school and at home.

Ownership of the Laptop

The school retains ownership of the laptop.
The student must bring the laptop fully charged to school every day if required. Chargers should be left at home.
Access to a laptop on loan may be terminated if there is damage caused by negligence or if the student does not bring the laptop as required to school or return it by the due date.
If a student leaves the school permanently or the device is no longer required, the laptop must be returned to the school as soon as possible.
Loans are based on school priorities and may vary from short term to long term loans to class groups or individual students.

Damage or loss of equipment

For devices still under warranty, the warranty covers manufacturer's defects and normal use of the laptop. It does not cover negligence, abuse or malicious damage.
Any problems, vandalism, damage, loss or theft of the laptop must be reported immediately to the school.
In the case of suspected theft, a police report must be made by the family and an event number provided to the school.
In the case of loss or accidental damage, a witnessed statutory declaration signed by a parent should be provided.
Laptops that are damaged or lost by neglect, abuse or malicious act, will require reimbursement. The principal will determine whether replacement is appropriate and/or whether the student is responsible for repair or replacement costs and if the student retains access to laptop loans.
Parents are fully responsible for any cost associated with the repair or replacement of the loaned device including the replacement of lost or damaged chargers determined above.
