All Y11 and Y12 students MUST return their laptops by Friday 2nd December.

If you fail to do so you will be charged to replace the laptop.

These laptops need to be asseted, re-imaged, repaired and all warranty and insurance work completed so that they are all fixed and running for you next year.

Print System changes?

We have decided to implement a user pays system in order to reduce the environmental impact that Merici has. By reducing the amount of printing we save trees and reduce our ozone and carbon output.

Instead of printing consider emailing your assignment work to your teacher instead. You can also ask them to allow you to submit your assignments in Moodle.

What are the cost details?

Seniors will receive $3 per year
Juniors receive $2.50 per year

One sheet of paper is charged at .10c per page so you will do better if both sides are printed

What happens if I run out of credit?

If you run out of credit you can recharge at the iC print recharge station by scanning in your student ID card and depositing cash into your account

I tried to print something out but it didn't print

You need to note the message that appears when you printed the document. It will tell you exactly why the job did not print.
All printing needs to be A4, double sided and less than 12 pages long.
You also cannot print the same document out twice in one minute so think before you print.

What happens if I am doing work for the school that is not an assignment such as SRC duties?

If you have printed work out that is for official school duties you can ask your supervisor to contact IT Support to refund the cost of the job to your account. These need to be on a case by case basis and you must provide the name of the files that were printed.

Don't rely on your USB for your assignments. Save to the H:\ drive at school

A lot of students are losing their important assignments because their laptop or USB is not working.

All students should be saving their assignments to the H:\ drive to make sure you always have a copy of your assignments.

It only takes 1-2 minutes a day to copy your assignments from USB or your laptop to the H:\ drive and we can guarantee that you always have a copy. We back up your H:\ drives every day and can even retrieve changed or deleted assignments within a week from the H:\ drive.

We are participating in the mobilemuster and your recycling efforts will help the environment by safely disposing of mobile phone waste.

To make your donation take your old mobile phone, mobile batteries or chargers to the recycle point in the laptop repair centre in the house.

For every 1kg of mobile phones, mobile chargers and mobile batteries we collect we go in the draw to win some great prizes for the school.
