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)
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.

| 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.
For all devices purchased through the Winthrop portal, please contact the JPC ICT Department
For all other devices, please contact the store in which you purchased it
If you have purchased your device through Winthrop, to make a claim you will be required to complete the form below and bring it to the JPC ICT Department.
Note: Physical damage to a device is only covered if you have purchased an extended warranty that includes “Accidental Damage”
