At Melbourne Girls Grammar we have established an education system where all students from Years 5 to 12 require a notebook computer. The Notebook Program provides students with the opportunity to lease a notebook computer through the School’s technology levy.

This program offers many benefits to the students; it allows all students to have the same notebook computer, software and support available to them as others in their year level. It also means that we can remove all the hidden costs that are associated with purchasing a new notebook computer and simplify it to one rental payment each term.

Another benefit of the technology levy is that the school provides an efficient turnaround for service and repairs, minimizing the amount of time any students are without their computer and providing a loan unit during the repair period.

Melbourne Girls Grammar purchases approximately 300 new notebook computers each year, which are allocated to Years 5, 7 and 10. Other year levels will keep their existing notebook computer for up to three years. Those joining years 6, 8, 9, 11 and 12 will be allocated a refurbished notebook computer until they reach a year level that receives a new notebook.
