TECHNICAL SUPPORT

• Harvey Ag College staff are under no obligation to provide any technical support on either hardware or software.

• Long-term care and support of BYODs.

• Students are solely responsible for repairing and maintaining their own devices; it is not the school’s responsibility.

Under Australian consumer legislation, warranties usually last for one year. During this period any manufacturing defects will be repaired or the device will be replaced (as per the specific terms and conditions of the manufacturer).

• Extended warranties: At the time of purchase, students may also purchase an optional extended warranty (past the standard warranty period) from the supplier/manufacturer of their device, during which any manufacturing defects that may out will also be repaired.

• Each student will be allocated an email address and can expect to be informed by instructors through SMS and email.

DRESS CODE

​

​We aim to prepare our students for the next step in their lives whether it be out on a worksite or for further education. In doing so, our Dress Code has been designed around the workplace requirements and it is important to have a sense of belonging and identity. The way in which we wear our uniform sets a tone and reflects a positive pride and professional approach to the wider community, it also allows staff to ensure safety and security of students in their care both on and offsite.

 

The College expects students to wear their uniform in a respectful and appropriate manner at all times. Shirts are to be tucked in, buttons done up, no rips, holes or tears, shorts are not to be rolled up, no writing on or excessive paint/grease and polished boots. Students must meet the approved uniform for their section.

 

Parents will be informed when their child’s uniform is unsatisfactory and new items need to be purchased to maintain the high standard and image of the College Community.
