Communications and Reporting

Communication between families and educators is extremely important for student success. We know that families know their children best and value both the child and families contributions to the learning environment.

We report on student progress in many different ways:

• Seesaw: daily, weekly
• Reports: twice a year
• Family Interviews: twice a year

These are our formal forms of reporting. We also talk to families face to face and over the phone. Families can make a time to meet with leadership and teaching staff at any time of the year.

Our main channel for school news is the weekly school newsletter.

School and teacher to parent communication is via email.

Alerts will be sent via SMS.

Make sure you inform the school if your contact details change. 

Seesaw

We use the Seesaw app for sharing student work with parents. Search for the Seesaw app on your device’s app store. Seesaw requires an invitation from your child’s teacher in order to subscribe.

Absences

To report an Absence

If your child is absent from school, late or leaving early, it is the parent/carers responsibility to contact the school either by leaving a phone message or by contacting the teacher via Seesaw.

To report your child’s absence during school hours phone 8262 2607 then press extension 1 (when directed) to leave a message.

If your child is away for 3 consecutive days due to illness, or has been away for 10 days or more over the school year, we ask you provide the school with a medical certificate.

If your child is going away for an extended period of time, you will need to fill out an exemption form, this is a Department for Education requirement and must be returned to the school in person or via email. Download form Here
