Sydney Region
Sydney Region ICT news-2Computer relocation
Sydney Region (SR) ITSU is in the process of collecting ex-TAFE Windows based computers
(minimum P4 1.6 GHz with 256Mb RAM, 17” monitors) with the intention of relocating these
computers to Sydney Region schools.
These computers meet the current Sydney Region standards and will come with an SR supportable
image; however, they do not come with a warranty. The purpose of the relocation is to raise the
minimum specifications of PC’s in schools and is designed as a one –for –one swap. This would
mean that for each computer installed, an older computer comes off the school network.
SR ITSU advises that the older computers be removed from the assets register (either beyond
economic repair or does not meet minimum SR ICT standards) and then disposed of appropriately.
The link below provides details of organisations that recycle computer equipment:

We would like to gain expressions of interest from schools that would like to be part of this process.
These computers will be progressively rolled out throughout 2007 and schools will be advised
before delivery and installation.
If you wish to be considered as part of this program please complete and return the attached
document by Friday 22nd June 2007.

Technology planning
This is of increasing importance to schools in determining the most
effective allocation of ICT in the school.
The Information Technology Directorate is currently investigating the
development of templates to assist schools to create and maintain
technology plans
Schools are encouraged to contact a Technology Adviser in the
preparation of a school technology plan.
