1-to-1 Device Program
The 1-to-1 Device Program is an ambitious initiative launched in 2018, aimed at integrating technology into the curriculum to enhance teaching and learning both inside and outside the classroom. All primary (Y5-Y6) and secondary (Y7-Y13 & SBS & SBP-16) students are required to purchase a personal hybrid Windows device equipped with a digital pen. Participation in this program is mandatory. For more information, please visit the school website here.
All devices in the program are managed through a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system called Microsoft Intune for Education. This system enables the IT Department to oversee device security on campus and at home, as well as to install necessary applications for classroom learning. Direct installation of applications by students or parents is restricted. If additional applications are needed, please contact the IT Department at [email protected]. We also provide a dedicated portal for the installation of pre-approved applications, allowing students and parents to self-serve.
As part of the Intune security suite, student devices have internet browsing restrictions in place. These restrictions are designed to keep students focused on classroom learning by blocking inappropriate content, including violence, pornography, and games. Should any adjustments to these restrictions be necessary—whether adding or removing restrictions—please submit an email to the IT Department at [email protected] with the details of your request.

Chomebook Loan Program
The Chromebook Loan Program is an initiative designed for students in the 1-to-1 Device Program to ensure they have access to a device if they are unable to use their own. The program offers two options:
Day Loan
In cases where students have forgotten their devices or are experiencing technical issues, they can borrow a Chromebook for the day from the IT Department. The Chromebook Loan Program is available during IT Service Desk hours, from 8 AM to 4 PM, and all devices must be returned on the same day by 4 PM.
Short-Term Loan
Short-Term Loans are specifically for students who have placed an order through our designated vendor, Senco-Masslink, but have not yet received their device. In these cases, the IT Department will facilitate the loan of a Chromebook while students await the arrival of their ordered device. Please note that this program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and the IT Department cannot guarantee the availability of Chromebooks.
To apply for a short-term loan, parents should complete the form below:
Chromebook Loan Program Request Form
A screenshot of the purchase confirmation from Senco-Masslink is required. Please note that parents who choose to purchase their device independently are not eligible to participate in the loan program. Once availability is confirmed, the IT Department will contact parents to request a refundable deposit of HKD 3,000, which must be submitted via cheque at the school's General Office. Please be aware that refunds for the deposit may take up to two months to process after the Chromebook has been returned to the school.
Parents and students participating in the Chromebook Loan Program should familiarize themselves with the Terms & Policies of the program, available at the link below:
