Keeping pace with change: Evolving technology in Education.

As technology continues to evolve, so too must the ways schools adapt and respond. In this edition, we’re proud to showcase three editorials from specialists across Compnow, alongside three case studies highlighting unique challenges and outcomes from Rehoboth Christian College, Methodist Ladies’ College, and RMIT.

Strengthening security in an evolving landscape.

Cyber threats are a growing concern across the education sector. On page 37, Compnow CTO Julian Critchlow shares key insights into the risks schools face, and how adopting structured frameworks like the Australian Cyber Security Centre’s Essential Eight can help mitigate them. It’s about more than just tech – it’s about building a culture of cyber readiness.

On page 15, Ross Hewitt, Compnow’s Verkada Specialist, explores the shifting nature of student safety – from traditional security to emerging challenges like vaping. With a proactive approach and the right technology, schools can stay ahead. Learn how Verkada’s integrated solutions can help, and explore this topic further in our new Electrical, Data, and Security booklet – available below.
