Library Matters
Student devices
As per our long standing policy, students are required to bring a functioning device to school every day so they can actively participate in lessons. Please ensure the device's battery can reliably last for at least six hours of school use and that the keyboard and screen are in good working order (undamaged). If your child's current device does not meet these requirements, we strongly encourage you to purchase another device to prevent any further disadvantages.

For situations where a student's device is temporarily unavailable due to repair, our school library offers a limited number of Chromebooks for short-term loan. To request a loan device, parents or guardians must send a written note or email to cofhslibrary@lism.catholic.edu.au outlining the reason for the request.
Please note the following conditions for Chromebook loans:
- Loan equipment is provided for a maximum period of six weeks.
- The loan is provided free of charge for the initial two-week period.
- For any loan exceeding two weeks, a fee of $60 will be billed via Compass to cover the remaining loan period (up to the six-week maximum).
- Loan extensions beyond the initial six-week period are not possible, and the Chromebook must be returned to the library promptly by the due date.
As we have a limited number of devices available, timely return is essential so other students can benefit from this valuable service.
Thank you for your ongoing support in this matter.
