Electronic Contact
Email: Connect
Connect is the Department of Education’s secure online access program. It is the primary means of communication by the school to notify parents of upcoming events. To help us keep you up-to-date with news and emergencies, please ensure correct mobile numbers and email addresses are provided on your child’s enrolment application or by filling out the Connect Registration for Parents form.
- Staff will utilise Connect as a whole school approach to communicate with parents.
- Messages will be emailed via Connect to community members using their email addresses currently on record at the school.
- Message content will appear in emails however, to open attachments parents will login to Connect.
Connect Now, an App available on iTunes Store and Google Play, has the advantage that users are only required to login once. Subsequent messages can be received as push notifications and any attachments can be opened as they are received.
Newsletter
A newsletter is published fortnightly and distributed to parents via Connect. The newsletter provides a wide variety of important information and current news concerning school programs and activities.
Website
The school website contains very comprehensive information and documents relevant for current and prospective parents.
