Newlands Notebook Program

The 2021 Technology Plan will continue to see the F/1 area using a shared class device bank. The banks will consist of iPads and Notebooks and use a range of applications to support their learning.

Year 2 – 6 students are required to have their own device at school each day. You may provide a device of your choice; however, we recommend using the JB HIFI school portal to order the preferred Lenovo Yoga 11E notebook. Purchasing the device through this portal comes with significant savings. as opposed then buying privately.

Leasing options are also available directly through the school and are considered on a case by case basis, as we have limited devices available. Please complete the below rental form to apply.

If you are unable to provide a device for you child, please contact the school.

To purchase a device through the JB HIFI portal, please visit https://www.jbeducation.com.au/byod and enter Newlands2021 for the school Code. Attached is a flyer on how to use the portal. Your new device will be delivered to Newlands on the 1st of February 2021.

For any further enquiries, please email Graeme Woodward – graeme.woodward@newlandsps.vic.edu.au

Gracias.
