Device Specifications

All students in Year 6 to Year 13 are required to have a digital learning device, for example a laptop. Devices will need to be serviced by our IT helpdesk prior to the start of school.

Note:

IB Film, IB Music and IGCSE Music students are encouraged to have a Mac.

Device Servicing Procedure

  • Please drop off your child's device at Main Campus Gate 2 anytime on working days. The guard will call IT to collect the device. 
     
  • It is essential that you put a sticker on the device which included the student's name, year group, computer admin account password, and parent's contact info. Please also put the device power cable/charger in a bag with the device.

Calculator Requirements (Year 9 - Year 13)

As part of the Mathematics Programme, students from Year 9 to Year 13 are required to use a Graphical Display Calculator. We recommend the Ti-nspire CX II version from Texas Instruments (Note: not the CAS version).  This Calculator includes the TI-Nspire Student Software. More details can be found at the link here.

Note: The software is important and you need to keep the liscence code in a safe place. Otherwise you will need to buy a new one.

Please note that while the IB allow different versions of Graphical Display Calculators, we are recommending Ti-nspire CX II version and will support this version in classes.

The College is not able to keep a stock of these calculators to sell.
