The following information applies to those parents and students who are looking at purchasing a device for use at school. Specifically, a Microsoft Surface tablet.
We advise that the Microsoft Surface RT (version) will not allow you to install Google Chrome or other browsers. You will only be able to download applications from the Windows Store. This will mean that you will not be able to download software from Adobe, Google and other competitors.
PHS students require Google Chrome to access the PHS Student Portal, which allows them access to the Ediary, DEC portal, ClickView, PHS website, Moodle, Edmodo, their timetable and other useful information.
We recommend purchasing a device that meets the updated specifications available under the Technology and e-learning tab on this website, that is also able to access Google Chrome.
