Holy Cross College is a contemporary Catholic school located in Ellenbrook, Western Australia. It provides future-focused education for students from pre-kindergarten to year 12. The college was established in 2010 and forms part of the Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) network, serving a growing community in the Swan Valley region.
The Challenge
Holy Cross College supports approximately 1,700 users and more than 2,000 connected devices across its campus. It’s technology strategy prioritises reliability, efficiency, and minimal disruption to teaching and learning.
The college’s print environment had become difficult to manage, with a mixture of ageing devices on different contract timelines, which complicated fleet renewal, budgeting, and management. Any printer downtime would cause significant disruption to classes as teachers and students searched for functioning devices.
Ben Johnson, ICT manager, Holy Cross College, said, “We had printers that were up to seven years old, all on different contracts and with varying levels of performance. We wanted technology that would disappear into the background that just worked.”
The college’s existing print hardware needed to be upgraded to match the growth and demand of its students, teachers, and staff. It sought a partner who could deliver a stable, centralised print solution that could integrate with the IT ecosystem and reduce the admin burden on its small, three-person IT team.
The Solution
- Comprehensive onsite print audit
- Simplified fleet with Konica Minolta devices
- One contract to manage all devices.
Customer Benefits
- Improved device reliability and reduced downtime
- Streamlined toner and consumable management
- Simplified user experience for staff and students
- Reduced IT administration load and fast service support.
