P&C AGM

Date

26 November

Time

3:30-4:30 PM

Location
School hall

It is now more important than ever that we as the P&C and school need more support from the school community. This year the Department of Education made substantial budget cuts to schools. This means support of the P&C for extra funds to improve school resources and programs is crucial, as they will not be able to continue. It would be a shame for our children to miss out due to lack of school community support. So come along and join us and share your ideas on how we can support our school. Your contribution at our meetings and in our executive team would be invaluable. Many hands make light work, so let's get in there!

NEW School Bytes parent portal app

What is the School Bytes portal?

School Bytes provides a parent portal to help your school communicate with you and complete administrative tasks.

We will still use Seesaw for classroom communication.

We will no longer be using Skoolbag or the old payment online option.  Everything this now done through School Bytes.

Our school will use the parent portal for various things, including online permission notes, attendance, and payments, which can be accessed via a secure link.

(We will no longer use paper permission notes for excursions)

The School Bytes parent portal enables you to view all your children in one portal and process payments for multiple siblings in one transaction.

What do you need to do to be ready?
