Following in line with the changes a number of schools have made regarding printing credits, Newry High has introduced the scheme from the start of term. This affects all pupils in the school.

Pupils will have been allocated a number of credits depending on what year they are in. One credit is equal to one black and white page printed from the computer printers. In some rooms you will have access to a colour printer but it will take 4 credits to print one page on these printers.

In years 8-10 each pupil has been allocated 25 credits
In years 11-12 each pupil has been allocated 50 credits
In years 13-14 each student has been allocated 100 credits

Once the credits run out pupils will not be allowed to print anymore until they top up their account.

Credits can be bought in blocks of 20 and each block will cost £1. The credits must be paid for at the school office. Once you pay for the credits your account will be updated by the next day.
