Parent Communication

We work hard to establish and maintain effective channels of communication with families so you know how your child is doing at school and how you can get involved in school activities. 

Email

Most of our communications to you is done initially via your nominated primary email address. We send almost all our permission notes for excursions and activities via email so please make sure you check your emails regularly so your child doesn't miss out on upcoming opportunities. You can update your primary email address at any time by emailing our School Administration Office.

Website

Our website is the official communication hub for our school, it is your point of access to all our communication channels for students and parents.

View our school news, our calendar of school events, find out general information about the campus and make payments. You can also directly access our two digital platforms we use for learning (Canvas) and administration (Sentral Parent Portal).  

Sentral Parent Portal

Sentral Parent Portal is a secure online platform that provides you with access to your child's timetables, attendance information, School Reports and daily notices from teachers to students. Refer to the Parent Portal tab for further information.
