[Year 12 IPM] Ratio of students to computers

[Graham Gales]

G'day

At Bright, we have around 300 secondary students.  To service their  
ICT needs we have

1 x 25 PC lab
1 x 15 PC lab
3 pods ( 2 x 5, 1 x 3)
4 x PC in Library

Our ratio is around 6:1.

Note the VCE IT classes (Units 1&2 and Units 3&4) run after school (4  
- 6:00 pm) specifically to free up access to the computer labs for  
other classes.

Staff have access to 1 PC in staff work room.

Nearly all staff have a notebook (courtesy DET).  Those without have  
specifically declined the offer.  There are network points in every  
classroom, bar the relocatables.

Cheerio
