> Hi Lucy,
>
> At Santa Maria College, we are lucky to have a very good non-teaching 
> technician who has a degree in IT. He does just about everything, 
> from networking, security, physical repairs, purchasing, software 
> evaluation and staff and student support... he's great. We recently 
> decided to put on an IT trainee (he works full time, but gets paid to 
> go to TAFE one day a week, or less). He is also great value. The only 
> time we get outside support is when we extend the network - we employ 
> a cabling company to lay the cables. The same company arranged our 
> CCTV.
>
> I am the e-learning co-ordinator, and I am the link between the 
> technician and the staff. I also do PD. It is a POL 2 position. We 
> also have a portal manager who is also a teacher with time release.
>
> Our staff were all provided with laptops at the start of last year. 
> They are expected to take them to class with them as we do on-line 
> attendances each lesson.
>
> We have about 900 students, and about 220 desktop computers available 
> in various classrooms, labs and hubs etc for students, so I guess our 
> ratio is about 1:4 or so.
>
> I know that many schools our size employ three or more people to do 
> the work that our one technician does. I think one of the reasons 
> that he is able to do such a good job is that we are very strict with 
> security. Students can't download programs or any large files; 
> neither can staff without permission. We are also lucky that we are a 
> girls's school - girls are no-where as destructive as boys!
>
> Hope this helps

>> Hi All,
>>
>> The admin at my school (Aitken College) want to re-structure the IT
>> Support/Technician department. The school has grown over the years which
>> has resulted in a large increase in the number of computers on the school
>> network.
>>
>> I was wondering if anyone out there could provide me with the following
>> information relating to their place of employment.
>>
>> How is the IT Support/Technician teams structured at your school? What are
>> the ratios for PC numbers to number of students and PC numbers to
>> Technicians? Do you have only internal I.T support or are you provided
>> with support from external parties (i.e. experts).
>>
>> One last request, are your staff provided with Desktop computers or Laptops?
>>
>> Thank you
