Application to Borrow a Chromebook from the School

The Department of Education and Skills is providing funding to schools to purchase computer devices for students who do not have access to suitable devices to enable them fully access their online learning. By this we mean if you do not have access to a laptop or desktop computer to use - phones and tablets without keyboards are good for viewing content, but you really need a keyboard to be able to type answers, create content etc. The process of accessing this funding and purchasing equipment will take time, however, we in the school are looking for ways to speed this up and get devices quickly to students who need them. If students do not have access to a laptop or desktop computer, they may apply to borrow a school Chromebook by completing the form at the link below. The number of devices we have presently available is limited (although we will be able to purchase additional Chromebooks over the coming weeks), so priority will be given to students in exam years with no access at all, or limited access, to such devices (some people may have some access but are sharing it with others in their homes so find it difficult to get time on the device). Please note that any devices given to students will remain the property of Dominican College and must be returned to the school when requested.  Full responsibility for the care of the devices will rest with the students and their parents/guardians. If the devices are damaged, repairs or replacement will be the responsibility of the student's parents/guardians. The application form can be found at forms.gle/1Vx5Bx3n4pBAbTw29 Applications should be submitted no later than 12pm on Tuesday 28th April.
