Changes to bus travel arrangements
The college has been notified of the following changes to bus travel for 2023:
Please note starting in January 2023 ADHOC travel will no longer be an option on the School Bus Program. This year there has been a larger number of applications than previous years and many applications were declined due to the capacity on the buses.
To keep this fair for all travellers it has been decided that going forward ADHOC travel will no longer will available.
Please note that all ADHOC approvals will end December 20, 2022. In extreme cases or one-off situations travel may be approved subject to term and conditions.
The many ways we communicate with families
Parents/carers are reminded that the Parent Access Module (PAM) is the main platform the college uses to communicate with families. Other forms of communication include the St Anne's College Facebook page, the fortnightly college newsletter - il giornale - and email.
Families are asked to ensure that they check PAM daily for important updates and information. PAM is the portal through which parents receive activity permission forms and daily messages. The college does not use printed paper forms/notes to communicate this information. Parents/carers can also use PAM to check on their child's learning areas and to send parent-notified student absences. PAM is also the portal through which students' reports are accessed. If you have misplaced or forgotten your PAM login details please contact administration at office@sackialla.catholic.edu.au
Parents/carers can download the SIMON Everywhere app to get live notifications on everything that happens in PAM. Just search for 'SIMON Everywhere' on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, download the app and sign in with your PAM account.
