As part of our 1:1 Learning program, each student needs to always have access to a technological device at school and at home. This enables communication and collaboration amongst peers and teachers. For Year 7, the College has decided to make Apple laptops compulsory. For Years 8-12, students have the choice of continuing to use Chromebook laptops, or switch to an Apple laptop. Switching from a Chromebook to an Apple laptop is highly encouraged. The minimum requirement for Apple laptops is that they are able to support MacOS Version 15 (MacOS Sequoia).
To find if a particular Apple laptop supports Mac OS Version 12 (MacOS Monterey), please check https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT212551 or contact Apple laptop providers.
Students in years 7 -12 will only have the option of using an Apple laptop computer. Necessary applications will be provided by the college through online means, including the applications tab on this website. Textbook files can be found on the College's Google site (http://lera.erc.nsw.edu.au). Students will have limited access when using the school internet to promote learning, and prevent distractions from social media, and gaming sites.
