2020-2021 BYOD News: Edunet Specifications Sheet for ParentsThe sudden shift to remote learning has led to significant changes to our traditional methods of providing students who don't have BYODs with access to school laptops. These current arrangements look like they will stay in place for the remainder of this year, which is fantastic for all those families who are making use of a school laptop to support their child's remote learning program. The benefits of having each child allocated their own device were quite obvious during the brief return to on-site learning late last term. We are now committed to ensuring that that this provision will be available again in 2021. However, there will be one major change to the borrowing arrangements next year. Those students who do not have a BYOD, will not be permitted to take their school allocated laptop home with them each night and will be required to return them to the charging station in the library at the end of the day. This will help us to avoid any damage in transit between school and home, as well as acting as an incentive for families to consider a BYOD that can be used at home as well as at school. To assist those families interesting in exploring BYOD options, we have new and updated models for our BYOD program through Edunet. Please open the attachment below for details about the devices. Mr Shrive is happy to take questions from parents or students if they are looking at purchasing a BYOD. The online ordering portal is accessible via http://nhillcollege.technologyportal.com.au The Access Code you will need to access the portal is NC2021 A video explaining the benefits of using Edunet can also be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bWjEs_iA58 |

You may have seen a little while back that contributing to Christmas boxes were mentioned in the school newsletter. As part of my VCAL learning outcomes, I am doing the Samaritans purse Christmas Boxes to give children overseas gifts that they would not usually receive. These need to be completed before the 28th of October because they will need to be delivered prior to Christmas. If any teacher or students would like your own boxes please send me an email at Krdre2@schools.vic.edu.au. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Staying connected to our students, parents and wider school community has never been more important than it is now due to remote learning and the wider constraints of Stage 3 Restrictions. Nhill College has used Compass, our web page and the weekly newsletter to keep families associated with the school up to date with all of the events and activities that occur in and around the school each week. To help broaden exposure to the school at this time, we recently launched a trial of our own Facebook page. This page will be purely for promotion, publicity and to inform everyone of the upcoming events and happenings within the College. All notes, questions, concerns or communication to staff regarding students still need to be directed to the College via Compass or on (03) 5391 2111. To find our Facebook page, simply follow this link: https://www.facebook.com/nhillcollege/ or type Nhill College in the search function on Facebook. (Please be aware there is also an unofficial Nhill College facebook page that does not show the Nhill College logo).
Please like/follow the page and then you will be kept up-to-date with all of our posts. We appreciate your patience at this time as we trial a new method of communication.
If you are reading this, you obviously have access to the school newsletter. However, some families have asked how grandparents or community members can stay in touch with the school when they don't have access to Compass. The answer is that anyone can access the school's newsletter through the College website: www.nhillcollege.vic.edu.au. Please advise any family, friends or interested members of the wider community, that the newsletter is the main source of information from the school and that it is available to anyone who would like to read it. Spread the word!
