At Clarkson Community High School we have always aimed to be a technology-focused school with some of the best resources in the state school system. These resources include our school laptop program, media facilities, 3D printers, laser cutter, photographic equipment and of course the school drones to name just a few, but lets not forget our web services too!
You may not know this but we have several websites in addition to our public site. These include a staff portal, our in-house learning management system for students (Moodle), online booking systems for physical resources like rooms, computer labs and school buses and online booking system for parent evenings.
All of these websites are hosted on-site and designed and maintained by our ICT staff. Recently, we undertook major server upgrades to ensure our sites are secure, current, reliable and fast.
We decided to take this opportunity to produce new versions of our public and staff websites that are optimised for mobile devices. No more zooming in and out or squinting, our websites now perform like apps on any smartphone or tablet with easy to read pages.
Other new features include social media shares, an updated file management system for public downloads, thumb/finger-friendly menus operated from the menu icon in the top left of the screen and a brand new animated photo banner where we invite our Photography students to contribute their best work.
The overall style of the site remains the same to maintain consistency with the old one but "under the bonnet" the software used to run everything is bang up to date.
We hope you enjoy the improvements and we welcome any feedback you might have via the contact form.
