Device

The College will commence a Bring Your Own Designated Device (BYODD) program in 2025, which will phase out the use of Apple devices by 2028.

All new students are required to use a Windows-based device.

We encourage families to purchase new devices through the College BYODD Portal (linked below), which is managed by HP. The portal offers competitive pricing, a three-year warranty, and on-site repair services.

Books and Stationery 

Textbooks and exercise books for Year 5 will be issued to your son during the first week of school next year. Costs of these books will be included in your first term fee account. Parents will NOT need to purchase additional exercise books. And there is no need to bring an exercise book on the first day of school. 

Below is a stationery list to ensure your son is prepared for the start of the school year. All equipment must be clearly labelled with your son’s full name. Some items may need replacement throughout the year to ensure your son is fully equipped for each school day.
