Network Access
To access the College WiFi network, all students are required to to install a security certificate onto device used at school – iPad or laptop.
This can only be done on the school grounds and you will need your username and password to do this. This certificate does no more than identify you and your device as members of the Beaconhills community and allows access to the Internet while on campus.
Any VPN installed on a device can disrupt Internet access on College grounds and should be removed or switched off.
