Year 7 Device Program 2024
All students must participate in the College’s device program as a condition of enrolment. In 2024, the College will continue to supply devices for Students in Year 7, and parents/caregivers will pay three equal instalments in additional to the annual school fees, and at the end of Year 9, ownership of this device will revert to the students.
This approach to digital devices supports our robust learning and teaching program by ensuring equal access to technology in terms of the quality and reliability of the device. We are also reducing the upfront cost to families by spreading the initial cost over three instalments, which we know is important in the current financial environment.
If, in the meantime, you have any questions related to this matter, please email your query to registrar@thomascarr.vic.edu.au or contact Michelle Cox 8734 2444.
