2. When wireless is on, you will notice the wireless antenna, as shown below

3. Click on the wireless antenna and wait a few moments for a list of available networks to populate.

4. From the available list, click to select the required network: in this case, the network with the name ‘oakhillcollege’

5. For access to the oakhillcollege wireless network you will be required to enter your school username and password (see example below)

6. To confirm that you have successfully logged in and that you are now connected to the selected wireless network, the wireless antenna will change colour from grey (as shown in the screenshot for step 2) to black (as shown below)
