Student Dashboard

Powerhouse Campus - Connected and Organised Students

Powerhouse Campus provides each student with a personalised Student Dashboard that helps them manage and access school communication, classes, homework, documents and access to key software applications. It links to their classes, their co-curricular activities and also enables them to link to other class pages in the school.

The Student Dashboard – Calendar and Class Pages

The student dashboard features custom calendars (that can integrated with Outlook and Google Calendars) and specific Class Pages that present information and links that relate only to the classes in the student’s timetable.

Student Dasboard features

The Student Dashboard presents all homework tasks in chronological order and the student can view a central calendar with all events and tasks or select their individual class calendars.

The students use the Class Pages to access news, web-links, homework tasks, forums and calendar. If the teacher has added a drop box, the student can submit assignments online and record comments with their submission.

Co-Curricular Activity Pages

Students can select the Activity tab on the dashboard to access their co-curricular commitments. These may include sporting, cultural or instrumental activities. Staff responsible for a co-curricular activity have their own Activity Pages to publish information on training, practices, fixtures, documents and events.

These Activity Pages are linked under this tab and all events are automatically integrated with Google Maps to assist parents and students with venue address details. Parents are able to access their child’s Class and Activity Pages.

Class Bookmarks - Assisting and Extending Students 

The student can use the Bookmark tab on the dashboard to link to other classes that are not part of their timetable. The student may elect to subscribe to classes in lower years to access information they may require and students can extend their learning by linking to classes in higher levels.
