What will the students at St. Joseph's do to support this program?
Students will complete a series of tasks in order to demonstrate their readiness for taking possession of a MacBook. The tasks will cover the responsibilities and the skills that the student will need to understand before taking the MacBook home. Students are responsible for:
 * looking after their MacBook

 * ensuring that the MacBook is used as a learning tool at school and at home.
 * not sharing their MacBook with siblings or friends.
