The DEC has made a range of software available to students free of charge. In particular, the Microsoft Office and Adobe programs will be beneficial for students at The Forest High School.
Please consider making use of these downloads before you purchase expensive alternatives. The following links explain how to access and download the software from the Student Portal. In 2015 the DEC made Microsoft 365 available to all students online through their Student Portal.
Students can access Microsoft 365 online in the My Learning tab of their Student Portal. Students can also access the Microsoft 365 (Office Online) by signing in to www.office.com with their firstname.lastname*@education.nsw.gov.au accounts. This is the same account used to access the Internet, Student Portal and Google Apps.
