Student Technology

Technology plays an important role in the learning process, and can be used for research, problem solving, content creation, communication, and collaboration. 
At GPCC, we run a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program using Apple MacBook Air devices for students in Years 7-10. Parents are required to provide their children with a suitable device.
