All students in Years 7–12 are issued with a brand new laptop upon their commencement at the Senior Campus. School-issued laptops are replaced at the end of Year 9.

Students will be responsible for the care of the device. All laptop damage should be referred to the IT Team in the first instance for evaluation and repair, possibly incurring a fee. Should the laptop be lost, the replacement cost of the laptop will be charged at the original cost of the device.

The use of all student laptops is governed by the ICT Acceptable Use Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will my son receive his laptop?

Year 7 and 10 students, as well as any new Year 8 and 9 students, are issued a laptop in the first week of each school Year / Term.  Students are issued a laptop, charger, and bag.

How does laptop provision work in Junior school?

Junior school laptops are issued to Year 2 to Year 6 students at the start of the year or on the student’s first day of school. Laptops are kept in the classroom overnight in charging bays so they are ready to go each morning.  These laptops are also refreshed on a regular cycle to keep the technology current.

How does laptop provision work in the Senior school?

All students in Years 7 to 12 are issued with a school-owned laptop, charger, and bag.  Students must take their laptop home each night hence it is their responsibility to fully charge the laptop ready for each school day. There is a laptop charging bay in the Senior Library that all Senior students can access to charge their laptops securely.  Laptops must be returned to the school at the end of Year 9 as a new laptop will be issued at the start of Year 10.

My school-provided laptop has been damaged, what do I do?

Take your laptop straight to the IT Department when you are next at school.  They will assess the laptop and, in most cases, can provide a loan laptop while the laptop is being repaired.  Most repairs are free of charge (assuming no part or all of the laptop is missing/lost).

CBC uses the Operoo online system for student emergency contact and medical information. This system is an easy way for parents/caregivers to keep emergency contact and medical information up-to-date. It also puts parents in control of this data so you will always know what emergency contacts and medical information is shared with CBC.

Parent’s guide to getting started with the Operoo online system:

1. Simply wait for CBC to send you an email from our Operoo system asking you to sign up or create your account. (or contact CBC if you haven’t received an email)
2. Follow the instructions in the email to create your account. Operoo will send the initial email to one parent to create the initial care profile for their child. That parent becomes the ‘Profile Owner’ but is able to create access for other parents. A second parent can also be added as a ‘notification only’ parent.For more information on how to do this, please visit this link: Sharing information with another Parent/Caregiver

You’re done!  You will now receive notifications whenever there is an electronic form to complete from CBC.

You can also download the Operoo Central app from any mobile device.

Please note that the College expectation is that Profile Owners must give ‘view and modify access’ to the other parent unless there is a court order that would deny the other parent access to such information.

From CBC’s perspective, you or your child’s information will only be visible by the relevant staff for you or your child, and will be managed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You can visit the Operoo website for more information at: www.operoo.com
