Parent Information
Communication updates
General:
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 and Instagram pages, the fortnightly college newsletter - il giornale - and email. Check PAM daily for important updates and information.
Parents/carers can access PAM for permission forms, daily messages, their child's learning areas, student reports and to send parent-notified student absences. If you have misplaced or forgotten your PAM login details, email office@sackialla.catholic.edu.au
Please note, occasionally the college will communicate via email in addition to our usual PAM (Parent Access Module) messaging. Emails will come from the St Anne's College no-reply email address. Add this to your safe list so it does not go to your spam folder.

The Parent Access Module (PAM) can be viewed via an app on your mobile or tablet device called SIMON Everywhere.

Bus updates
Jacobson's morning charter bus update:
Jacobson's have extended our special charter service to collect students from the St Mel's Primary School southbound bus stop on their way towards McGuire/GoTafe interchange. This extension is being provided by Jacobson's so the college has no control over the service, including future provision. This service does not operate in the afternoons or on whole school pupil free days.
Location: Southbound Bus Stop (across the road from St Mel's on Archer Street).
Collection time: 8:40am sharp, the bus will not wait and cannot be delayed as it has to meet the schedule from McGuire/GoTafe interchange to St Anne's College
Bus number: Bus 8 - Dhurringile
St Anne's College students are to remain on the service until it reaches St Anne's College at around 8:55am. There are no changes to the original private charter service from McGuire/GoTafe interchange. This is an additional stop immediately before arriving at the interchange Bus Bay 1.
School of Wonder bus travellers:
Parents/carers of SOW children travelling on the bus after school must:
- email to both office@sackialla.catholic.edu.au and the child's Pastoral Group Leader BEFORE 1pm on the day the child is to travel on the bus; or
- call college reception on (03) 4812 2993 BEFORE 2.30pm.
If the above procedure is not followed, the child will remain at school.

Processes
Picking up students during school hours:
Parents/carers must make contact with the office if they wish to collect a student(s) during learning time prior to collection which must take place at reception. Parents/carers MUST sign the student out before leaving St Anne’s College grounds.
Students who become unwell or injured during the school day are sent by a Learning Mentor to the administration office for medical attention. Every effort is made by staff to aid and encourage recovery, however, when medical care is beyond the capacity of our staff, parents or emergency contacts will be notified and asked to collect the child.
