Dear Parent/Guardian,

Laptop (Netbook) Responsibilities

In 2009 your child was supplied with a laptop user charter before the laptops were issued.  It outlines responsibilities and should be read carefully.

Section 2.2 of the charter outlines what will happen if the laptop is damaged or lost.  It is important to realise that students are responsible for their laptop and the school will not replace or repair it if lost or damaged.  Parents however, will be able to purchase a replacement or pay for repairs to the laptop through the school.  The same charter applies to the replacement/repaired laptop.  Replacement laptops will be of the same generation as the missing/broken laptop.  If the laptop is damaged or lost, the student must inform Mr Gong (TSO) in the library.  Mr Gong will assess the laptop and advise on the options.

The following steps outline important information regarding the action you need to take if your child's laptop is lost or stolen over a school holiday period:

1. you should send an email to DERStolen@det.nsw.edu.au as soon as possible after the incident
2. you will need to provide a phone number and email address that we can contact you on to confirm details and/or ask for more information if required
3. in cases of theft you should also report it to the police and get an incident report number
4. notify the school as soon as possible by contacting Mr Gong (TSO) in the library

Thank you for cooperation with this matter.

Yours sincerely,

J Bathgate
Principal
