                  Suitable Devices

                  What is a 'suitable device'?

John Paul College has some expectations as to the capabilities of the devices being used on campus – this is to ensure that the devices are fit for purpose (education) and work with our infrastructure.

To assist parents in ensuring they purchase a 'suitable device', we have prepared the "JPC - Suitable Device Guidelines" document which clearly indicates which devices are suitable for each year.
(Major suppliers of computing equipment in Kalgoorlie have also received a copy of this)

                            Suitable Device Guidelines 2023

                   Where can I buy a 'suitable device'?

John Paul College will continue our partnership with Winthrop to provide a parent portal in which a list of several, pre-selected 'suitable devices' will be available for purchase. This allows parents to choose from a range of devices with varying and discounted prices.

JB Hi-Fi purchasing portal is established by Catholic Education WA to offer the CEWA community an opportunity to acquire a device at an educational discount. Please refer 'Suitable Device Guidelines 2022' before buying from JB Hi-Fi portal.

Apple Devices

JB HI-FI Windows and Apple Devices (No ipads - Refer suitable device guidelines)

Optionally, parents may choose to purchase the device from any other supplier they wish, provided it meets the 'JPC Suitable Device' requirements.
Note: Major suppliers of computing equipment in Kalgoorlie have already been contacted by the school to ensure they are aware of JPC's suitable device guidelines.

                  Device Information
