Adobe Creative Cloud
At BPSSC, we offer Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) free for students that participate in the Student Resource Scheme. Students with a BYOD are able to install the full suite of Adobe apps on their laptop, and students without a BYOD are able to use the Adobe apps at school only.
BYOD students should have received a welcome email from Adobe at some point this year, which gives them a link to create their Adobe ID (this will be the same as their e-mail address) and then to install their choice of Adobe apps. Once installed, students will need to login to the Creative Cloud with their school email address and the password they chose during the Adobe ID creation.
Students can send an email to it@bellbirdparkssc.eq.edu.au if they are unsure of this process.
