Notebook Program Information

Welcome to the Notebook Program Information website for 2012, which contains all the information that you need for purchasing a notebook computer for your child.

Ivanhoe Grammar School operates a compulsory Notebook Program for our students in Years 5 - 12. We believe that a one-to-one program gives our students the best possible access to technology in the classroom to assist with their learning, coupled with the greatest flexibility to learn anytime anywhere.

The School understands that purchasing a notebook computer is a substantial investment for many families. Every year we re-evaluate the program and the notebook requirements in order to provide the most cost effective solution for our parents and students, whilst still fulfilling the educational requirements of the program. In addition we are always looking for something that is lighter, faster, has great battery life, excellent build quality, and is backed by a comprehensive servicing model.

"Thank you for the presentation. I found it very informative and it did make a difference in my purchasing decision.
It seems to me that the IGS solution is delivering good value now, and that was not my belief before the presentation."
Mr Dennis Kerr, Parent
