The KRB Learning Advantage Program
At Barat-Burn students in Years 5 and 6 engage in the Learning Advantage Program (LAP). This program provides each student in Years 5 and 6 with an individual computer.
The Learning Advantage Program operates on a school-provided model, whereby Kincoppal-Rose Bay School selects a suitable notebook and subsequently takes care of the process from procurement to provisioning and support.
Notebook Cycles for Years 5 and 6
A laptop is given to Year 5 students on a 2-year lease with the return of the device at the end of Year 6. When they commence in Year 7, they are provided with a new laptop.
Apps and Files
Where possible, all curriculum app delivery is done via Cloud resources. In addition to classroom activities delivered via online means, also included on the KRB Notebook is:
- The full Microsoft Office suite
- An Office 365 subscription
- Adobe Creative Cloud Suite
Kincoppal–Rose Bay provides each student with a OneDrive account with 1 terabyte of storage. Files will be automatically backed up to the cloud.
Web Filtering
The school provides students with a safe, web-filtered network whilst on campus.
Whilst off campus, the laptop’s internet is monitored and controlled like they are on the school’s network which enforces filtering policies.
