1st Year Devices and Olive Education
We recently held an online session for parents of incoming first-year students. The meeting provided key information about the laptop programme with Olive for Education, a leading EdTech provider in Ireland.
All first-year students will receive a device equipped with the latest educational tools and software. Topics covered during the information session included laptop specifications, benefits of classroom technology, and support for students and parents. We also discussed acquisition steps and financial options. For more information, please refer to the recording of the session and the attached PowerPoint presentation below.
For detailed information on purchasing the required laptop for incoming first-year students, please refer to the "Feb 2025 Parent Pack - Steps to Purchase a Laptop" PDF linked here. This document includes a comprehensive guide on the specific device provided, its features, and the services included, such as software setup, safety measures, and extended warranty. It also outlines the total cost, payment options, and step-by-step instructions for ordering the laptop. Additionally, it provides details on the delivery process and support available to parents and students.
We look forward to welcoming our new students and their families to the Coláiste Bríde community.
