Please also park with common sense. As parking is very limited, particularly at primary, it is important to pull into any verge parking nose (or end) of the car pointing towards the road and not park horizontally to the kerb. This allows for more cars to park.

Communication

One question we are asked frequently is where do I go to find out what I need? The infographic below is designed to help you with that. 

Contacting the teacher: Parents may contact teachers through email during the school’s communication hours (8.00am to 4.00pm on school days) and we will endeavour to respond within 24 hours. For matters requiring a more in-depth conversation, the teacher may phone parents or request a meeting.

SeeSaw: Teachers publish child and class-related news and notes on the SeeSaw app - please check it regularly. Direct messaging with the teacher will no longer be offered on Seesaw - all teacher communication is via email, a phone call or in person. Download the SeeSaw Parent & Family app and the teacher will provide a QR code to log in.

Weekly newsletter: We provide parents with need-to-know school information, important dates and merit award winners in the weekly newsletter. Our aim is to only communicate with you once a week - please ensure you read the newsletter. Previous editions can be found under Quick Links - Newsletters.

Social media: You can choose to follow nice-to-know news, photos, events and videos on our Facebook and Instagram.

SEQTA Engage: A portal that provides access to to your child's school information, such as reports (all students), as well as timetables, assignments, assessments and communication (for secondary school students).

Use of student images: A pictures says a thousand words and permission for your child to appear in photos and videos helps immensely. We are respectful in the way we share images and do not publish children’s names on social media.
