MacRobertson Girls’ High School is among more than 21 schools in Victoria that now deploy the Turnitin software to detect plagiarism by pupils. The makers of the program claim that it trawls through over 35 billion web pages to find any improper matches with the work handed in by students. Local distributor Aldis Associates says private schools are its main client base. MacRobertson principal Toni Meath argues that use of Turnitin allows the school to educate students on the need for original work, especially as they prepare for university
