Passtab: Our New Sign-In System Update!

We are well under way with our transition to Passtab Sign in system. Whilst we formally roll over to Passtab in midterm 4 of this year, we are encouraging all visitors, volunteers, contractors etc to begin using Passtab.  Our front office staff are working through the system to build their understanding and iron out any bugs and personalise the system to our lakeside College.

During this phase, we are also constructing all of the background information to ensure the system is fully functional.

Key Benefits of Passtab

• Enhanced Child Safety & Automated Compliance: Passtab automatically validates Working With Children Checks (WWCC) and Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration cards in real-time, ensuring strict regulatory compliance across all campus visitors, volunteers, and contractors.
• Faster Sign-In for Parents & Visitors: The iPad touchscreen interface is clean and intuitive. Frequent visitors and volunteers can utilize short QuickPINs or personalized QR codes to sign in and out within seconds.
• Pre-Arrival Online Inductions: Volunteers, contractors, and event helpers can complete required safety and compliance inductions online prior to arriving on campus, significantly reducing wait times at the front reception counter.
• Streamlined Student Arrivals & Departures: Late arrivals and early student departures will be accurately logged at the front kiosk, giving staff instant visibility of student movements.
• Improved Emergency Response Management: In the event of a fire drill or emergency evacuation, Passtab provides administrators with instant, real-time digital logs of all students, staff, contractors, and visitors currently on-site.
• Data Security & Privacy Compliance: Passtab has qualified for the Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) badge program, meeting rigorous security and privacy standards to protect our community's personal data.

What You Need to Know on Your Next Visit

1. Front Office iPad: When arriving at the front reception, you will see our new Passtab iPads ready for visitor check-in. Sine, our current system, is still available for parents to use.

2. Quick Entry Options for Regular Visitors

   There are a number of options to enable regular visitors to come and go quickly and smoothly:

3. Visitors can create their own quickpin at the iPad
4. Visitors can create their own quickpin using their mobile number.
5. Visitors use the QR code poster to sing in on their phone

6. Friendly Assistance Available: Our front desk administrative team will be on hand to assist you through the new sign-in screens during this time.

    

   Bring Your WWCC/VIT: If you are visiting to volunteer or assist with school activities, please remember to bring your Working With Children Check card so we can ensure your profile details are up to date.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we work to make our school campus safer and more efficient for everyone!
