Lockers and the Safe Deposit Area
Each student will be assigned a locker and lock where they can keep their belongings during the
school day. If a student loses their lock they will be expected to purchase an appropriate replacement.
It is expected that each student use their locker and lock appropriately, keeping their locker neat
and tidy and making sure their belongings are secure at all times. Mobile phones are not to be used
during the school day and should be stored safely, along with other valuable items such as laptops,
iPods, calculators, PE kit, etc. Valuable items can also be stored in the safe deposit area within
Student Support Services. It is strongly recommended that valuable items such as cameras be stored
in this facility, which is securely locked at all times. Using these facilities keeps corridors free of trip
hazards and keeps possessions safe.
Technology
Technology is changing the nature of knowledge, the boundaries of collaboration, and the direction
of information flow. As a College, we are committed to finding ways to take advantage of the tools
that are available now and will become available so that our students can best equip themselves for
the challenges of tomorrow.
Students entering Senior School in 2013 will probably enter the job market in 2023 and beyond. Even
a cursory consideration of advances in technology in the last ten years suggests that we are unlikely
to be able to predict how technology will shape our lives by 2023. What has become apparent,
however, is that the skills needed to succeed in the 21st Century are somewhat different from those
that many parents acquired through their schooling in the late 20th Century.
We believe that a 1-1 laptop environment will best prepare our students for the challenges of living
and working in the 21st Century. On entry to the Senior School, students are required to have
a laptop, which they can purchase along with a recommended software bundle, from the school
provider. The procedures for doing this are detailed via a link on our website homepage www.
