The nForma Parent Portal has made communication with our school community so much easier and more efficient. Parents can quickly access student reports, stay informed about events, complete permission forms, update your child/ren's medical details and log absences all through a user-friendly app.

nForma has recently developed a NEW parent app called nForma Connect.

Search nForma Connect in the App Store or Google Play and please download it to your smartphone. Click on the link below for a guide on how to log in. Remember to use the email address linked to the school. If you have never logged into the app previously you will need to activate your account by clicking on 'Forgot Password'

STEM Club

Year 4 STEM club has been a big success this term. We are very fortunate to have had Tristan, an aeronautical engineer, inspire and support the studnets to build a glider.

The students used the time last week to test their gilder and make some changes as per Tristan's advice. They were so proud of what they created and how it could move through the air. A special thanks Tristan for all your support!!! We hope to work with you again in the future!

Qustodio

What is Qustodio?

Qustodio is a comprehensive parental control app and digital wellbeing platform designed to help parents monitor, manage, and protect their children's online activities across multiple devices. It enables users to filter content, block apps, set daily screen time limits, track locations, and monitor social media usage on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Kindle.

It is free for parents of St. Patrick's allowing you to set up one device per student enrolled.

Please see the flyer below to create your free Qustodio account. It was great to see more parents last year taking the opportunity to use this service. For those that haven't you still have access to this resource and feel free to reach out for support if needed or to the Qustodio team (info below).
