students through eLearning and embraces digital technologies to prepare our
students to become safe and productive citizens
1:1 Vision Statement
1:1 Laptops / Tablets will be used in learning to deepen understanding of
concepts, raise engagement levels and support personalised learning.
‘Anywhere, anytime, inclusive, engaging learning’
SEPS 1:1 Computer Program Information

Introducing the 2016 Sandringham East 1:1 Computer Program
Sandringham East Primary School already provides students with a solid ICT / eLearning environment through
the use of iPads, laptops, interactive whiteboards, flip cameras and PCs in classrooms. However we would like
to do more – and believe it is important to do so if we are to appropriately prepare our students for future
success.
The 1:1 laptop program commenced at the beginning of 2013. It provided the opportunity for students in
Levels 3, 4 and 5 to lease a laptop computer from the school. During 2013 the Department of Education and
Training (DET) introduced a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy to permit computers owned by parents to be
loaded with DET software and connected to the school network.
Sandringham East Primary School Council has agreed for 2016 to continue to adopt a specific laptop that can
be purchased for school use (a managed BYOD program). This will enable our teachers to continue to provide
a high quality educational experience and to ensure that students have reliable and up-to–date computers.
Purchase of these laptops can only be achieved through a special Sandringham East Primary School Portal
located on the Learning with Technologies LWT website. After purchasing the laptop it will be delivered to SEPS
for our technician to image and configure for use on our network. Students will receive their laptop as soon as
it’s set up. Leased laptops will be ready for use during the first week of Term 1. Purchased laptops will be ready
for use as soon as they are set up.
What is included
The package comprises a laptop, bag and onsite warranty.
The computers will be loaded with the same software that is used at school, the DET “Edustar” package
detailed in this information booklet.
The package is also supplemented by a comprehensive insurance policy, LWT’s technical support service and
our school Technician’s support.
The computer is available for the student’s exclusive use during school time and can be taken home to allow
students to complete any necessary homework / additional learning.
Laptops (netbook) weigh just over 1kg and fit easily into a
school bag. They will need to be charged at home each night
so they are available for use at school each day.
Wireless internet access will be available at school, and
laptops can also be used at home – with or without internet
access. Connection to the internet at home is the
responsibility of the parents.
Why are we moving in this direction?
Today’s students think, connect and communicate differently
from those who were at school even only a few years ago.
DET Laptop Trial research showed that students with 1:1 access
are:
more motivated and engaged in learning
better organised which improved literacy and
numeracy outcomes
better able to collaborate and think analytically 1:1 Laptops promote better learning in and out of school by
encouraging:
anywhere, anytime access to learning
independent, self-initiated learning, e.g. promotion of problem solving skills, ability to research learning
tasks and questions
more family involvement in education through accessing their laptop
Advantages of the 1:1 program:
Students who participate in the program
will have guaranteed one on one
computer time during relevant lessons
using a current model computer.
Computers will be fully covered by a
comprehensive insurance policy (with a
$50 excess for each claim on a laptop)
A 24/7 technical support service is
available to support repairs / service.
Students will have access to the same
software used at school for them to use
at home, which will allow students to
become more technically competent
and confident.

collaboration between students in different schools, states and even countries.
ability to teach students how to communicate appropriately and safely on social websites
the ability to access homework and school information online and offline
more time for teachers to teach students to use the internet appropriately as a tool to learn
greater access to real-time information, digital learning resources and educational software
working in online spaces, such as a Wikispace, where students can access varied content to support
their level of understanding in a subject area.
Cost
The cost of the laptop package will be dependent on which option you select.
All payments will be facilitated online via the LWT Portal that will be specifically provided for the SEPS 1:1 laptop
program, except for the 2 year leasing option which will be paid to the school.
The LWT Portal will be available throughout 2016 and so it will be possible to join the 1:1 Computer program at
any time. However LWT will not hold the price of the package indefinitely and so price fluctuations could
occur. Please also note we cannot guarantee laptops / tablets will be available for the first day of school next
year, unless they are ordered by the 27 November 2015 deadline.
How has the package and cost been arrived at?
Different vendors and their offerings were assessed for the 2016 1:1 Computer program. The eLearning
subcommittee of the SEPS School Council decided that the package proposed by LWT provides the best
overall balance of quality, specification, service and cost to support the education of our students. For
example the laptop is a lightweight, current model device. It will have all school and DET licensed software
preloaded for you (which you cannot purchase or download) and will be covered by insurance and have
24/7 technical support.
We are aware of the differences between the 2013 - 2015 and 2016 1:1 Computer programs, but given the
changing DET policy approaches and commercial offerings, the above package was agreed upon. We are
continuing to negotiate with LWT and any improvements to the package will be immediately passed on.
Options and choices
In order to support our teachers to provide a consistent and streamlined education in our classrooms, and to
obtain the most cost-effective price for parents, only one package is offered in the 1:1 Computer program.
Students who choose not to take up the 1:1 program option will continue to be able to use the school
computers during relevant lessons. Access to these devices will be shared between the students in the class
who do not have their own computer. At this stage, we do not know how many children will be sharing a
school laptop since it depends on the take-up of the program but we anticipate it will be 2 students per
device. These students will not be able to take home a laptop and are not able to bring in a personal laptop
for use in school.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Warranty / Insurance
If the laptop is damaged, lost or stolen, parents will
be required to make a claim under their insurance
policy. You will need to contact the school,
complete a form, the $50 excess paid to the insurer,
and a police report may also be required.
The school will forward the laptop to be assessed
for repair or replacement. Please see Attached
‘Education Laptop Insurance’ page for more
details, and follow the link for policy information.
Software Licensing and Copyright
Software installed by the school is subject to
licensing conditions from DET and must not be
distributed without written permission. Any media
installed on the laptop must not infringe copyright
laws and must not include crude or explicit
language or images. This will contravene the
School’s ‘Digital Technologies Acceptable Use
Policy’.
SEPS believes that the DET licence will remain
current for the duration of your child’s education in
a government school, but that DET expects parents
to remove the software thereafter.
Internet Usage
Use of the laptop by students is governed by the
‘Digital Technologies Acceptable Use Policy’, which
students and parents must agree to, and sign, for
the use of ICT both within and outside the school.
Any inappropriate use of the internet is
unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action
and exclusion from the school network and
resources.
Technical Support
The school employs an ICT technician to support
the school’s technology assets in general, as well as
the Computer Program. Students are to inform their
teacher immediately of any problems. Matters that
cannot be fixed on site will be fixed by LWT with an
estimated 3 day repair time. Please see the trouble
shooting process for more information. (Page
attached)
Power Supply
All Laptops need to be charged overnight and
returned back to school fully charged at the
beginning of every day. The laptop battery will last
a typical school day.
Backup/ Recovery
Students should backup their data at all times. We
recommend the use of a USB or external drive
(provided by parents), but students may also
periodically back up their work on the school
server. Students will receive training on how to do
this during their ICT lessons.
Installing their own Software
The school does not prevent students from installing
their own software. It is the student’s responsibility
to ensure that there is enough hard drive space
and RAM available to engage in all educational
requirements. Downloading music, games and
videos from the internet during school hours is
prohibited except when directed by a teacher.
Any non-DET software will not be supported by the
school, and might be lost in the event of the laptop
being re-imaged due to ICT technician support
work.
When will the laptops arrive?
Laptops will be ready for distribution as close to the
start of 2016 school year as possible.
What kind of contract or agreement needs
to be signed?
If you take up the leasing option you will be
required to sign the SEPS 1:1 Computer Program
Leasing Acceptance document.
The laptop package will also contain an insurance
policy, between the parents and iBroker,
underwritten by QBE Insurance (Australia) Limited.
All students and parents of SEPS will be required to
sign the ‘Digital Technologies Acceptable Use
Policy’. The 1:1 Laptop LWT Term and Conditions
needs to be accepted by parents participating in
this program.
Is there any Government assistance
available?
You may be entitled to receive a contribution from
the Government to assist with the laptop expense
via the Government School Kids Bonus scheme,
which is available for qualifying families.
See http://www.fahcsia.gov.au/our-
responsibilities/families-and-children/benefits-
payments/schoolkids-bonus for more information.

Can students bring their own devices from
home instead?
No. In order to provide a consistent computing
experience to all students, as well as to enable the
teaching staff to balance the education of the
students who participate in the program and those
who do not, the school has decided to support only
two devices in 2016. Other devices will not be
supported by SEPS and should not be brought to
school for use.
Is the device password-protected?
Yes. Students will be prompted to log on with a
password when turning on the device. A password-
protected device will help to protect students’
personal information in incidents of loss or theft.
Where do the devices go when not in use?
When not in use, the devices will be in a student’s
locker/tub or locked classroom. An unattended
device around buildings or school grounds will be
picked up immediately by a staff member and
treated as a lost item.
How will teachers be trained and
supported?
Teachers complete the Department ICT
Capabilities Survey and set ICT professional learning
goals as a result of feedback. Support is a strong
element for success and teachers will be involved
in mentoring and coaching each other to
complement their growing ICT capabilities.
Will students use computers ‘too much’ in
their schoolwork?
No. The 1:1 device will simply support the existing
school curriculum by providing an appropriate
digital learning tool to supplement traditional
learning methods.
What about handwriting?
Students will continue to write with pen and paper
and work to improve their handwriting as well as
using the keyboard.
Won’t students be able to ‘cheat’ by using
the spell checker?
The spell checker is a tool to allow students
immediate feedback on the correct spelling of
words they use. It supplements our existing school
spelling program, but does not replace it.
Personalising your Laptop
Each laptop has a removable sticker identifying its
owner. Students may personalise their desktops but
be aware that updates to the system performed by
the school may revert the hard drive image to its
original form that may result in students losing stored
files if they have not been correctly backed up.
What if my child forgets his/her laptop at
home?
On that day he/she will have to share one of the
existing school computers with other students. This
will result in your child having reduced access to a
computer on that day, as well as placing increased
strain on the availability of school computers for
other students.
The school monitors usage at school, but
who monitors it at home?
Monitoring home use is the responsibility of parents.
When off school grounds, parents have full
responsibility and authority to monitor device
usage. Examples of this include:
encourage use in a family room and not in
the bedroom
restrict use at certain times of the evening or
weekend
advise not to take on long trips, and
examine the documents and other contents
of the device.
How can students access the internet from
home?
Home internet connection is not supplied by the
school or DET. If there is an existing internet
connection at home, the device can be
configured for access to it. However there is no
mandated expectation that internet access be
made available at home.
When might home internet access be
needed?
Examples of home use for which internet access
would be required include:
using online collaborative websites such as
class blogs, wikis
using online resources
completion of homework using online
resources.
Examples of home use for which internet access
would not be required include:
using any of the Microsoft applications or
other software provided
using any subject-specific software
working with audio, picture or video files on
the device.

How will the program be evaluated?
We will evaluate the effectiveness of this initiative.
This may involve areas such as literacy, numeracy,
collaboration and attendance. We will consider
using:
Anecdotal evidence provided by teachers,
parents and students
Tracking the amount of time students use
the 1:1 device in classrooms
Surveying parents, students and teachers
concerning the impact of 1-to-1 access on
student learning
Monitoring student learning.

What software will be on the devices?
DET has researched and designed a standard image (Edustar), which incorporates both DET-licensed and free
software. The current version of Edustar is listed below. Edustar is licensed by DET directly to parents as part of
the SEPS laptop program. The SEPS Laptop image will consist of the Edustar image plus any other programs
purchased by SEPS.
