A Surface pen provides a number of functions. It operates as a mouse would and can be used to navigate, select and access context-sensitive menus. However, its primary use is to write directly onto the surface of the screen. As a tablet device, this allows students to interact directly with information on the screen without using pen and paper. Students can edit documents, make notes, correct and mark work, complete forms on the electronic device but not easily able to be typed onto. In particular, students can use the active pen for mathematics, where the script and notation are not easily accessible on a keyboard.

It is the family's responsibility to rectify this; however, whilst this is being carried out, the student may borrow a device from the school for a short period until the original device is fixed. If the repair takes more than 5 days, we may ask for proof for repair submission to continue to lend the device to the student.

Keep your personal and school lives separate by creating an education-focused account for the student on your PC. Please do not use the student account to perform your daily tasks and use your private Office 365 credentials to avoid distraction on students learning. Instead, create a separate Windows Account if you need to share the same device.
