Technology

Dungog High School recognises the importance of equipping students with the technology skills they need to be sucessful in the future.

The facilities in our library have been designed to provide a future-focused learning environment integrating advanced technology and encouraging a high level of student collaboration and creativity. Students have access to multiple bank of laptops which can be used in any of the 5 learning zones.

Three dedicated computer labs are situated across the school where students have access to a wide variety of software. Classes also have access to class sets of laptops which can be used anywhere in the school.

Accessing learning from home

Microsoft Office 365 is the school's main learning platform.  Students can access this platform in school and at home by visiting the Student Portal and clicking on the Office 365 tile.  Students log in using their school email address eg fred.smith999@education.nsw.gov.au.  Once logged in students can access their class teams, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and OneDrive. Students are encouraged to save all work to their OneDrive so that it is available from any device with an internet connect (both at school and at home).  Students can also use the DHS Student Links webpage to find frequently used sites such as On Guard and the Renaissance reading platform.

 

Bring your own device (BYOD)

Students, particularly senior students, are encouraged to bring their own laptop to school for learning purposes. Students can connect their personal devices to the school's wifi and can also access printing if required. Before purchasing a device please refer to our BYOD hardware checklist. Our HP BYOD portal offers a range of suitable devices, favourable warranty and payment options.
