DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING Generally, the responsibility for notebook computers and devices such as palm computers lies with individual schools and districts. It is therefore not possible to respond with information on all Notebook and palm devices owned by the Department, without conducting a comprehensive survey of all schools and districts.

They are Notebooks for Teachers and Notebooks for Students at John Willcock College in Geraldton.
