IT and Digital Learning
Welcome to digital learning at James Nash SHS
Every student requires a digital device for school. Ensuring students have a device means that they can access the full range of learning experiences and have access to the greatest opportunities.
James Nash SHS has made significant investment in our IT infrastructure to ensure that students have a seamless experience when engaging with online and digital resources. The most recent investment has been to purchase software called DayMap. This provides portals of access for staff, students and parents to facilitate communication, assessment and reporting associated with a range of student performance metrics including attendance and achievement.
Please note that official reporting at the end of semester will still occur through OneSchool.
