VEGGIE GARDEN NEWS

We would like to send a huge shout out to Jodie Gamble, Aimee Rawsthorne, Tracy Geddes (and her team from the CBA) and Clare Lee for volunteering to help in our garden. The plants that are in there are already thriving and the rain has been a bonus to make sure they establish well.

ADMINISTRATION/FINANCE

Yesterday we began our Techone Transition Week. This will be our new finance portal that runs alongside Compass.  We are excited to transition into this new program to streamline our school administration and finance services.   We will keep you updated with all changes as they are delivered to our school as our scheduled 'Go Live' date is the 14th of November. 

 

 

        INTERCOM AND SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLATION

 

Our new Intercom and security system is up and running and we are absolutely delighted with it. 

 

Just press the button and we will be able to speak with you and let you in. We expect the automatic gate to be in operation this week at some point.  

 

 

SCHOOL FEES

Term 4 accounts are due to be finalised by Thursday, 08 December, 2022.  Payment options remain unchanged and include via the Qkr App; EFT through bank (please use account number, under date on your statement & surname as reference); CentrePay and ADIG Direct Debit.  We will have an update on school fees after we change over to the new system Tech One.

10c Bottle, Can and Juice Box Donation Drive

Keep those donations coming. Don't forget, Sports Day = Donation Day! 

ATTENDANCE 

It is a legal requirement that you log in to Compass to explain all absences within 7 days of your child being away from school, however it is so much easier if you attend to this on the day as soon as you receive the reminder.  

You will not be able to complete this task after the 7 days has passed which means they will be recorded as Absent Unexplained.  

If you are having a trouble accessing all of the Compass features,  there should be a drop down menu on your home page which looks like 3 horizontal lines.  Open this menu and choose 'open in browser'. This will help you access the school portal features.
