National Secondary School Computer Fund

• The NSSCF was a direct result of the Governments
  Digital Education Revolution.
• D.E.R. GOAL - Provision of a computer for every
  student in years 9 to 12.
• Approx 1,000 per student has been allocated to
  meet the program goal over four years.
• At the end of the current four year program we
  have been told to expect an ongoing 70 of the
  replacement cost per student over 4 years.
• This excludes students in 7 8.

Current situation at SFX

• SFX has signed up to and completed stages 1 2
  of the NSSCF program.
• The target at the end of stage 2 was for a
  student to computer ratio from years 9 to 12 of
  21.
• SFX is currently 1.929 students per PC in years 9
  to 12.
• There are currently 440 Student Computers.

9
Current situation at SFX continued

• As we are not allowed to count computers for
  years 7 8, of the 440 student computers 380 are
  designated for the use of years 9 to 12.
• On the current enrolment of 736 students in years
  9 to 12 we will need to increase our student
  computers by 356 computers.
• If we install more desktops as per our current
  strategy where do we put them without affecting
  the amenity of the teaching and learning spaces
  ??????
• Laptops are the only appropriate solution !
