New study website for our senior students

The website contains tips for time management, note-taking, wellbeing and extended research, as well as providing a list of apps that may be useful for students. Forms are downloadable so students can create their own timetables and calendars.

The expectations for students in timetabled study groups are outlined on the homepage. In 2019, all study lessons will be timetabled into the Green section of the Library, which has been redesigned to optimise quiet study and small-group learning.

The website will be a living document, so suggestions from students, teachers and parents are welcome. Please encourage your child, especially if they are studying for the HSC, to utilise the resources we have gathered for the site.

A new website to complement our senior study program, Ten Percent On Top (TPOT), is now online.

Internet Edge and BYOD

On Friday 22.11.19 a new internet service will be installed at our school.  This will impact the way Bring Your own Device (BYOD) computers and non-Windows will access the Internet.

Why is DoE introducing this new internet service?

This new internet service will:

  • boost schools’ internet capacity and performance
  • better cater to schools’ constantly evolving IT-enabled learning initiatives
  • help protect schools from cyber threats.

The information below will explain how you will be affected.
