The IS/IT Department are able to support students with certain issues and problems they may have with their personal laptops.

The school can help with...
- connection to the school network
- connection to the Internet
- operating system configuration (for school network connection purposes)
- school email client configuration
- printing issues
- school approved software
- secure recharging points and storage
The school cannot help with ...
- hardware issues
- virus/malware related issues (except configuration of Sophos)
- devices other than laptop computers
- laptops not previously registered to a student
- syncing/connecting peripherals to personal laptops
- laptops using an operating system not in English

Please make an appointment before visiting the IS/IT Department. The school can provide a short term loan of a basic laptop while a student gets their personal laptop repaired.
When laptops are given to IS/IT support staff to update or repair, users are reminded that it is their own responsibility to manage their data. This means they are responsible for assuring the removal/backup of all documents and personal folders, including those storing e-mail, address books.
