Transition
The Year 7 Information Handbook has information for students and their families to guide them through the transition period from Primary School to High School.
Personal Item List
We have personal item lists for years 7. These are provided digitally to reduce the use of paper within the school; however, if you would like a paper copy of the personal item lists, contact the school on 6821 1700 or email albany.shs.enquiries@education.wa.edu.au.
Please the link below.
Our School Board encourages parents to buy local to purchase student requirements. Textbooks can be sourced from local suppliers such as Paperbark Merchants; however, to allow delivery ready for the start of the school year, you must contact them immediately to place an order. Alternatively, Albany Senior High School has sourced an online option to purchase textbooks through Campion Educational Supplies: www.campion.com.au. If ordering from Campion Educational Supplies, you will be required to enter the Resource List Code J8GY.
BYOD for Year 7
ASHS is expanding its 1-to-1 BYOD program for years 7, 8, 11 and 12. We aim to ensure all students have access to high-quality educational experiences that build their capacity to participate in the modern world.
To assist families in accessing suitable devices:
Our teachers are undertaking professional learning to help them plan engaging new programs and develop rich digital resources to support our year 7, 8, 11 and 12 cohorts. Our 1-to-1 BYOD program will allow all students to learn using modern tools and become effective citizens in our connected world.
We understand that our school community may have questions regarding our 1-to-1 BYOD program. Our ICT Coordinator, Mr Matthews, will happily answer your queries about BYOD. Please email Zachary.Matthews@education.wa.edu.au.
BYOD System requirements
The following systems will be suitable for use at ASHS:
Windows 10/11 laptops and 2-in-1 devices
Apple Mac Laptops
Additional Recommendations and information
Students should bring devices to school in a suitable case. These cases will benefit from having a hard outer shell and padded interior that fits inside a backpack to offer the best protection. Additionally, students must bring suitable earbuds to use with their devices. All devices should be charged the night before at home to be ready for the following school day.
The Department of Education provides free access to Microsoft Office for ASHS students. This means you are not required to purchase this with the devices. We will support students accessing Microsoft Office as we connect them to the school network.
