To assist families purchase a suitable laptop, the school has a partnership with our provider EduNet. This provider offers a substantial price benefit and extended warranty that you may not receive through a normal retailer (most retailers only offer a 12 month warranty at best).
We understand that not all parents will be in a financial position to purchase a new laptop outright, so there are interest free payment plan options available. The school will facilitate the repair of machines purchased through these providers.
We believe in a culture of achievement in a respectful and rigorous learning environment
