Helena College supplies a device for all students. In Years 6 to 12, all students will be provided with a school-owned laptop, which they will be able to take home. The fees for the College’s 1:1 device (laptop) program are incorporated into the annual tuition fee. Use of the device is governed by the Student Code of Conduct and the ICT Policy, both of which can be viewed on the Policy page of the website.
