Some classrooms at the College are controlled via touch panels or iPads as part of the Q-SYS environment. As more rooms are updated, this system will expand across both Primary and Secondary Schools.
For information on Secondary School classrooms controlled via touch panels, please refer to this document.
For updated Primary School classrooms, the AV system is now controlled by your iPad. Instructions on using the systems can be found within this document.
