Digital Services and e-Learning
College is at the forefront of using digital technologies to support teaching and learning, and all students are expected to have a fully charged laptop available for use in class.
JumpCloud JumpCloud is an identity management service that College uses to provide access to the Wi-Fi and core digital resources, such as Schoolbox, with a single password. Boys are required to use a secure eight-character password consisting of letters, numbers and symbols. JumpCloud is also used for parent access to the parent portal. Be a good digital citizen • Always charge your laptop overnight • Back up your files and keep your passwords secure • Carry your laptop in a case or bag to prevent damage • Never interfere with another boys’ laptop • Never leave your laptop lying around. When not in use, store it in a safe place • Never use email, texts or the network to bully or humiliate others • Use access to technology resources responsibly and wisely • Do not use VPNs to bypass College systems • Keep your operating system up to the version recommended by Digital Services
Boys are required to have an Apple MacBook Air or Pro with a minimum 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage space. Battery life should be sufficient to last the school day on a full charge, and should be recharged each night. College provides all relevant curriculum software and makes extensive use of the Google Workspace suite of productivity tools to support learning. At the beginning of the year, boys are issued with a College email address and access credentials. Additionally, a digital code of conduct is signed, outlining the expectations and responsibilities regarding access to digital services and resources.
Schoolbox Schoolbox is an integrated learning
management system and community portal provided by College to support engagement and enhance teaching and learning. It is the primary tool used to deliver course material, deliver notices and track student progress. It is the main portal boys will use to access resources. There is a Digital Services link at the top of the College Schoolbox page. This provides links to information such as keeping laptops up to date, software installs, and security.
