Second-hand computers and monitors available

The SSTUWA has 44 sets of PCs and monitors available for donation. Each set has a PC, monitor, keyboard, VGA cable to connect the PC to the monitor, and two power cords, one for the PC and one for the monitor.

They do have quite a few years on the clock and would be best suited for a school or training facility that uses an IT lab, where students can learn about hardware, software installation, networking and troubleshooting. Even though they are in great working order and perform quite well, given their age we would expect that some of the hardware will start to fail.

They have Windows 7 pre-installed and can be upgraded to Windows 10. Hardware features: CD-ROM drive; Intel i3 CPU; 4GB RAM; 256GB HDD; 10 x USB 2.0; 1 x display port; 1 x VGA port; keyboard; mouse; monitor.

If your school is interested in receiving any of these, please submit your request to contact@sstuwa.org.au

WA Mental Health Week: 9-16 October

Mental Health Week is celebrated each year in October around World Mental Health Day on 10 October. It provides a prime opportunity to address and highlight the important connection between social determinants and mental health; and promote effective prevention strategies to keep people mentally healthy. The theme for Mental Health Week 2021 in Western Australia will be: Mental health starts with our children. The theme recognises how a person’s mental health reflects the interaction of a lifetime of individual and lifestyle factors with a range of environmental, community and family risk factors.
