24 April 2024

Welcome back to Term 2, 2024!

Our Main Office will be closed on Monday 29 April for the Term 2 Staff Retreat day to allow all staff to attend the Retreat.

 

We look forward to welcoming our students back on Tuesday 30 April. Students are to wear their full winter uniform. At the first bell, students are to leave their bags in the CHED and go straight to the JFC and sit with their Home Room.

Parent Lounge / Parent Orbit App update

Thank you to the vast majority of parents and carers who are using and enjoying our Parent Lounge and Orbit App. Moving into Term 2, all extracurricular information will only be accessible via the Lounge or App, and all permission notes sent via these methods.

 

IMPORTANT – from Friday 17 May all student absences will need to be provided and approved via the Lounge or App.  If your child is marked absent from school and this absence is unexplained, you will receive a notification in the Parent Orbit App and the Parent Lounge.  SMS will no longer be used from 17 May.  

 

Therefore, all parents/carers need to be signed up to the Parent Lounge or Orbit App. 

 

You can access our troubleshooting guides here: https://www.chevalier.nsw.edu.au/canvas-and-parent-portal/

 

If you are still having issues, please send an email to office@chevalier.nsw.edu.au.
