User Guides

The IT Department’s policy on saving your data is that we take no responsibility for any student who has NOT saved their work on their allocated personal network drive (S drive), any shared resource drives (as specified by their teachers) or in their Office 365 OneDrive.

Your S drive has a 700Mb data limit, while your Office 365 OneDrive has 1Tb of data storage.

Please find below the user guide to help you with your query. If the guide you are seeking is not there, or you have a suggestion for a new guide – please contact the IT Help Desk at helpdesk@ascham.nsw.edu.au
