Your School Email Address
All students have an Education Department email which is usually firstname.lastname@student.education.wa.edu.au.
This email is automatically linked to your Connect. When teachers put notices on Connect, an email is sent to this address to alert you to read the notice in Connect. Use this email address for all school-based activities and programs you login to.

Outlook and Webmail
The students can access their emails via Connect and Compass when they login there is an envelope icon in the top tool bar. Clicking on that icon will take them to their emails.
Alternatively, they can also access their emails via Office.com. Sign in using the students’ education email address.
Their education email address is their Connect username followed by @student.education.wa.edu.au, usually firstname.lastname@student.education.wa.edu.au. You will be prompted to enter your username and password; this is the same username and password used for Connect.
Connect and Compass
You can access Connect and Compass via the link at the top of the webpage. Teachers at Applecross SHS use Connect and Compass to share resources, notify students about class information, lead discussions on class topics, and serve as a place for students to collaborate and submit work. The username and password to access Connect and Compass are the same as your network username and password.
