the BHHS NSW AU website:
this is the extract from the original website created on Geocities.com in April 2008. All content has been moved to this new blog in line with Geocities.com being closed at end of 2009.
This blog will now be the public facing web presence for information regarding the former high school and its students and staff.
MISSION STATEMENT:
This blog created as a historical record for the students & staff of Beacon Hill High School, (or later known as Beacon Hill Technology High School)formerly of Tristram Road, Beacon Hill,on the northern beaches of Sydney, NSW, Australia.
The school operated from 1964 to 2002 and demolished in 2007 (not to be confused with Beacon Hill High Schools in UK and USA)
THE BHHS_NSW_AU PORTAL SITE:
The BHHS_NSW_AU Portal has been created for the use of ex-students & staff of Beacon Hill High School in Sydney.
It is hosted on Yahoo!Groups.
Registration requests will be vetted and unfortunately restricted to ONLY those students from Beacon Hill High School of Sydney, NSW AU.
Membership registration is free.
Teachers & Staff who were present at the school are also welcome to join.
Photos, documents, articles and other details of more private nature (not suited for this blog, due to privacy concerns) will be kept on this BHHS_NSW_AU Portal site.
BHHS_NSW_AU Portal members can submit additional photos, documents, articles to the group
site that they wish to share with other members.(Must have a Yahoo ID for access to these areas)
The mailing list has been created as a way for ex-student/staff to ask questions, discuss or post items (if they wish) or simply receive news and information from other members in the group.
It also makes is easier to disseminate news of any future "class" reunions.
(The e-mailing list does NOT require a Yahoo email account to join the e-mailing list part of the Portal)

Membership signup for the BHHS_NSW_AU portal
As described on the main page, the BHHS_NSW_AU Portal has been created specifically for
the students who attended this school.
The "portal" provides a secure, group email discussion and collaboration area.
It is hosted on Yahoo!Groups.
Membership registrations are vetted and unfortunately restricted to just those students who attended the former school. Registration is free.
Teachers & Staff who were present at the school during 1964-2002 are also welcome to join.
Photos, documents, articles and other details can be found on the BHHS_NSW_AU Portal site.
BHHS_NSW_AU Portal members can submit additional photos, documents, articles to the
Portal site that they wish to share with other members.
(NB: You must have a Yahoo ID for access to these areas)
The email discussion list has been created as a way for group members to ask questions, discuss or post items (if they wish) or simply receive news and information from other members in the group. It makes it easier to contact people from our year for any future reunions.
(The e-mail discussion does NOT require a Yahoo email account to join the e-mail discussion)
Two methods for registering on the Portal:
OR,
Click here to join bhhs_nsw_au portal (which includes the mailing list)
Alternately, if you want to subscribe to the mailing list only, then add your email address and click below: bhhs_nsw_au-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
(NOTE: Add your Firstname and Surname in the text area of the email (ladies use your maiden name) and the year you left, so we can vet you are legit ex-student.)
To explain the necessity of requiring a Yahoo ID or adding a profile for you, is to allow members to have access to the photos, links and files sections of the BHHS_NSW_AU portal.
Having access to photos and files and having a Yahoo ID is optional for this group. If you dont have a Yahoo ID, all you receive is the emails posted to the email group.
When sending a reply or posting a new email to the group, you can do that from either your normal email client, e.g. Outlook, or you can login into the "portal" and post a message from within the "portal"
To explain the reasons for the signup and access and having to create a Yahoo ID, unfortunately it is a nuisance factor, it relates to the structure of Yahoo!Groups and the requirement to stop hackers and email spammers getting access to ex-student's names, email addresses and other details.
To protect your private or work email address, I suggest create a web email account, which comes with as associated a ID and use that email account to access these facilities. In the future we may migrate to a system that is easier to access & use, but for the time being we have a mechanism that is FREE, so we take what we can get. Create web email account that supports POP3, so you can redirect emails to your home or work account.
If you already have a browser based email account, e.g Hotmail, Yahoo7!, Gmail, etc, you can still use that here and have a ID associated with it.
