Access to Daymap

At Ripley Valley State Secondary College, we use Daymap to track students attendance, communicate classroom work and assessments, track grades, and communicate with students and parents. 

Students can access their Daymap using the below link, using their student emails and the password they have  created. 

Student Access: https://ripleyvalleyssc.eq.daymap.net.daymap 

Parents can access their Daymap using their email address registered with the school and a password that you set once you receive the Daymap Activation email. 

Parent Access: https://ripleyvalleyssc.eq.daymap.net/daymapconnect

(N.B. Please open Daymap using Google Chrome)

The parent how-to document can be found here:

Student Laptops 

It is a school expectation that students bring their laptops to school everyday fully charged. Failure to do this will result in students receiving consequences for being unprepared for learning. 

It is the responsibility of students to ensure that their laptop is working. If they are experiencing any issues with their laptops they are to visit our Tech Team either during break times or before and after school.

Students are NOT allowed to bring their laptop chargers to school. Please ensure laptops are being charged overnight. The school laptops batteries will last all day.  Laptop cases are a REQUIREMENT and are not optional.

If your child is missing their laptop / charger they are to come to the tech office to purchase a new one. Parents will receive an notification and an invoice.

You are able to email the tech team at tech@ripleyvalleyssc.eq.edu.au anytime. 

At Home Internet Filtering

School devices are heavily filtered both at home and at school.  However if you are looking for an effective way to monitor and filter internet on your child's other devices (tablets, mobiles etc) we recommend  https://www.familyzone.com/

Coding Squadron (By Mr Sokathur)

Our coding pilots at Ripley Valley State Secondary College are all set to embark on an amazing journey to create games, apps and IOTs (Internet of Things). If you see a patrolling robot or a swarming drone, be assured that our maverick coders are training them with expert python coding. As part of advancing education and #codingcounts initiative of Queensland Government range of coding activities are undertaken to encourage our students into coding robots and drone and to become digital creators and innovators.

During Term -2 our coding pilots at RVSSC will be creating 2D games and develop codes for controlling drones . Our budding computer game developers will be engaged in creating complex video games and in the process develop 21^st century  skills like critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Further, students throughout grades 7-9 are passionate about becoming tech-savvy coders and have joined our Coding Squadron Club that operates every Tuesday after school from 2:45-3:30 and 2^nd breaks both Monday and Wednesday. They are enthusiastic about creating meaningful games and functional Android apps using the themes of cyber-safety, eSports and digital footprints. With these games and apps our RVSSC Coding Pilots are keen to enter the National level Australian STEM Game competition and State level Queensland Premiers Coding Challenge 2021. Students develop problem solving skills when they are engaged in coding competitions that can be applied across Science, Technology and Mathematics. While there are several students who have joined the RVSSC - Coding Squadron Club and value their achievements in creating Android apps, there is still room for many to join. With so much fun and excitement our coding pilots at RVSSC are all set to take on term 2  to learn more skills in coding with python and other scripting languages.
