Important update – student devices (from 2027)

From 2027, students commencing in Year 7 and Year 10 will transition to a College-managed device program. Instead of purchasing a device independently, students will be provided with a College-managed laptop that is configured, secured and supported by the College.

This change will enhance learning consistency, improve compatibility with College systems, and strengthen cybersecurity and online safety for students. The program is also designed to simplify the experience for families, with a managed payment arrangement replacing the need for a large upfront device purchase.

Further details regarding device specifications, costs, and payment options will be shared later this year. In the meantime, families with students commencing in Year 7 and Year 10 in 2027 are advised not to purchase a device under the current arrangements.

*Please note: the information below is current for 2026 only and will not apply from 2027

Champagnat Campus (Years 7 – 9)

Champagnat students are required to bring a Chromebook as part of their day-to-day school requirements. The purchase of a Chromebook is the responsibility of parents/caregivers and must be completed using the SHC Device Portal. Please note that Chromebooks cannot be purchased at the College. The SHC Device Portal offers extended on-site warranty and accidental damage insurance options which are highly recommended by the College.

Marcellin Campus (Years 10 – 12)

Marcellin students are required to bring a digital device as part of their day-to-day school requirements. The College recommends that students select a Chromebook from the SHC Device Portal with extended warranty and accidental damage insurance. However, Marcellin students are able to choose a Windows or MacOS laptop if they are competent in its use.

If a Windows or MacOS laptop is chosen by a student at Marcellin, it must:

• Be a currently supported version and be regularly updated with security patches
• Run a current and supported anti-virus software
• Have at least 8Gb RAM and a SSD type disk
• Have a 5GHz WiFi adapter
• Have a battery capable of surviving all day (Chargers are not permitted to be used at the College)
• Allow a trusted root certificate to be installed. Note: This is to enable the College to filter the internet while at the College
• Be in good working order.
