To best support remote learning, PHSOTA provide a number of resources to families that would be commonly found in the average classroom.
Some of the resources the school provides are:
- Notebook (Laptop):
The notebook supplied by the school comes with Windows 11. All computers are loaded with Office and other software to improve the child’s learning. Office 365 can find this app on the desktop of the notebook. The Department of Education also provides Internet and email. Please contact the school if you require support getting your internet service connected through the Department of Education.
- Email:
All staff and students across the school have an email from the Department of Education. In many cases, this is being used very regularly by students and their tutors. We recommend using this email because, in some circumstances, online resources are only available within the education domain (@education.wa.edu.au). Unfortunately, other domains (@gmail.com / @outlook.com / @yahoo.com) will not have access to all the online resources.
If you don’t remember your child’s education email (@education.wa.edu.au), don’t hesitate to contact us by email or telephone.
- Sports Kit:
Physical Education is an important part of our schools curriculum. To be able to participate fully, having access to age appropriate sporting equipment is a must. All enrolled families will be provided with a sports kit full of equipment. If at any time the Physical Education program requires the use of equipment that is not in a students kit, it will be sent out accordingly.
- Maths Box:
Mathematics kits are created according to student levels. This includes different tools that will help to understand better mathematics. Families can make use of these materials at any time. They will also be used during students online lessons with their teachers.
- Library:
The school’s library contains a wide variety of books available for loan. We are constantly improving our collection of fiction and non fiction titles for students to borrow. Next time you are in town, feel free to drop in and have a look. Or, if you have a book you would like to request, please contact you child’s teacher.
Families also can check our collection in our online library.
- Art Kit:
This includes paint, brushes and a palette. It is provided at the beginning of the year. Additional materials may be provided through out the year to complete Art activities included in sets. If you need more colour or any other items, please get in touch with the school.
- Music Kit:
A variety of musical instruments are included in this kit for students to use in Music classes on a Friday. Students can also use these instruments to share their musical talent with their families when the time is right!
We do ask that families look after all resources provided, and return them at the end of your time in our school in full working order. This will allow us to continue to build on the resources provided, rather than continually replacing them.
