The ACS (Australian Computer Society) Queensland Branch, Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Foundation (QATSIF) and Substation33 are collaborating on the “See IT Be IT” campaign, with the objective to connect First Nations students around Queensland with quality second-hand laptop devices.

Peter Yeates ACS Qld Secretary and ICT Systems Manager at Padua College, Kedron has organised the first donation of quality used laptops from Padua College in support of “See IT Be IT.”

Here's what Peter had to say: “On behalf of Padua College we are really pleased to be able to donate these 75 working laptops to support digital inclusion for our students learning and their families through QATSIF, as well as a further 20 laptops to Substation33 to be recycled in line with our College's Franciscan heritage and making the world a better place through the ACS Qld See IT Be IT campaign.” A sincere thanks to Peter and Padua College for this generous donation.
