Laptops

In the 21st century classroom, technology is used to engage students with the curriculum.

Renaissance College has a 1:1 Laptop Programme in the Secondary School, and every student from Year 7 to Year 13 is required to bring their own laptop to school on a daily basis.

We made Apple our technology partner, based on the quality of their products and their long-term commitment to education. The Apple MacBook allows us to deliver a rigorous and varied curriculum at Renaissance College.

Apple has prepared a special package, available to all students at RCHK, which includes hardware support and a competitive pricing plan. Apple has also provided RCHK with an onsite Service Centre to provide continuous support and care for all laptops purchased through the Renaissance College Apple Laptop Purchase Program.
