Computing Equipment
St. Andrews College has two campuses; Holy Family (years 7 to 10) and John Paul II (Years 11 to 12). The two campuses are approximately one kilometre apart and are connected through an underground fibre optic cable.
Licensing Arrangements
Microsoft only offers a per seat licensing arrangement for their clients, therefore most of the software in the school is used under a per seat license. Some software is under a per site license, this arrangement is preferred by the school.
This gives an approximate financial value of $350,000.00 and over for equipment and software.

Review
The current management of a fire risk is appropriate as it stops most cases of deliberately light fires around the school. Whilst there is still a risk of fire occurring, for example a person could jump the fences, this risk is not high enough for the school to be concerned about. Any higher risk management would be expensive and excessive for the school.
Review
The current management of a vandalism risk needs improvement. Removal of cables is a major problem with the workstations; the students should be taught how to fix this problem themselves.
Review
The school has taken measures to lower the risk of theft within the school. The management of this risk is appropriate as equipment is rarely stolen.
Review
The schools management of a server failure risk is poor. On the John Paul II Campus the server room door is left open within school hours. This allows any person to walk into the server room and possibly switch them off, turn off server power and remove cables. This could be improved by installing a vent above the door so that the door could be locked at all times. A desk could also be brought into the server room to place servers on. All cables should be tied and kept out of the rooms walkway.
Review
The school has an excellent virus risk management system. The school has an agreement with McAfee to give the teachers copies of the software for their home computers. Students are also encouraged to not use media from home computers. The school has had very low occurrences of virus infection in the school. The school currently has no restriction on the internet; this could be considered as it would reduce the risk of a virus coming into the school over the internet.
