Playgroup@CamelotRise

 

To enhance our very successful Foundation Transition program, Camelot Rise is looking to operate a parent-based Playgroup within our school.  This is very exciting news for our school and our local community.

 

This will provide the opportunity for local families to connect with the school while engaging in informal social interactions with their own children as well as other parents and children. 

 

Our playgroup is aimed to help families have fun, relax within the school setting and build friendships that last beyond the playgroup.

 

What we are looking for is a willing and enthusiastic parent who would be interested in being involved in this program.  This parent would provide a vital link between our parent community and the Playgroup but needs to do nothing more than be a friendly, welcoming face to our playgroup sessions. No qualifications are needed as the school will oversee all the required paper work to ensure we can run a Play Group at Camelot Rise Primary School.

 

We anticipate that the playgroup will run for one session a week, for one and a half hours on a Wednesday morning.

 

This initiative is supported by Monash Council and the Camelot Rise School Council. The Monash Council will assist with the development of the program and will be facilitated by Jo Hewett.

 

Jo Hewett will be the staff member working with this group and will be doing all the ‘behind the scences work’ to ensure that the weekly playgroup sessions are successful and provide a great experience for the children and their families.

 

If you have any queries or would like further information, please email Jo at joanne.hewett@education.vic.gov.au or playgroup@camelotrise.vic.edu.au

How to Reset Compass Password

If you require assistance with logging into Compass, you may have tried your password more than 3 times and Compass will lock you out of the system as a security measure.  Please wait approximately 30 minutes and try again. 

If you are still not able to remember the correct password and are needing your password reset, you can do this via the Compass login screen. 

 

By clicking this option you will be stepped through a series of questions including a request to enter your current email or mobile phone number. Compass will use the information to forward the reset details so you must be able to access your email / mobile phone.Please note, Compass will use the existing primary email or mobile on file for that user account for verification before completing a password reset for the user.  If the mobile or email that they enter does not match what is on file they will not be able to proceed.For instances where it is Parent B of an account attempting to reset the password, the system will require Parent A's email/mobile as these details are considered the primary details for the household account.

 

If, after waiting 30 minutes and following the ‘Cant access your account’ instructions, please call or email the school office and we will attempt to assist you.

Primary School Wear (PSW)

Scholastics Book Club 

Latest Book club closes Monday 15th March

Scholastic aims to give every child access to quality books and learning materials, and create literacy-rich homes, schools and communities throughout  Australia.

To help achieve this goal, Scholastic Rewards were created as a form of currency as a way to give back to schools.

Every time you participate in a Scholastic offering, your School is being rewarded!

For example, for every Book Club order that you place, Scholastic gives back 20% of your total order spend to your school as Scholastic Rewards.

 

Scholastic gives away millions of dollars in Scholastic Rewards each year, helping to stretch countless school and classroom budgets further.

In doing so, educators have access to an extensive range of resources and cross-curriculum products to help their students reach their highest  potential.
