Students, you must change your web browser settings!

When you use your web browser (such as Chrome or Firefox), the web page that opens must first be checked by a computer called a proxy server. Our proxy server has had trouble handling the large number of students in school accessing web pages, and has caused the slow down in the internet we have all experienced during classes. We now have a new proxy server which performs much better, and should significantly improve your web browsing. All students need to change over to the new proxy, as the old one will be switched off in a few days. You must install some files called "certificates". If you don't install the certificates, in a short time you will find that you cannot open "https" pages. (They will work at first, but next week we will make a change which will cause errors on https pages if you do not have the certificates installed.)

All students need to make these updates, even if you have had proxy changes made this term by I.T. staff! Follow the instructions here:
