General Notices

 PAM main source of communication with families

Parents/carers are reminded to ensure that they regularly check the Parent Access Module (PAM) as it is the main source of communication between the college and families.PAM is the portal through which parents receive activity permission forms and important daily messages. The college does not use printed paper forms/notes to communicate this information. Parents/carers can also use PAM to check on their child's learning areas and to send parent-notified student absences. PAM is also the portal through which students' reports are accessed. It is important to log into PAM daily to check any updates or notices. If you have misplaced or forgotten your PAM login details please contact administration at office@sackialla.catholic.edu.au 

 

Parents/carers can download the SIMON Everywhere app to get live notifications on everything that happens in PAM. Just search for 'SIMON Everywhere' on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, download the app and sign in with your PAM account.

Lunch orders available on Wednesdays

Eastwood Orchard is supplying the college's lunch orders again this year on Wednesdays.

Lunches are ordered via the Qkr! app. Orders must be placed before 8:00am on a Wednesday, which is when the app closes for orders on that day. Orders can be be made up to two weeks in advance. Please find the Qkr! instructions attached below.


A few tips which may help when placing an order include:


  • Once you download the Qkr! app you will need to search for "St Anne's" in the search bar if you can't see it on the list. If it's still not showing you will need to search "all". Then click on St Anne's College Kialla.
  • Qkr! users will be prompted to update their children's settings before being able to order.
  • Some known errors experienced by families generally include rushing the order and then ordering the wrong products and or ordering on the wrong date.
  • Sometimes the Qkr! app gets overloaded with users (especially between 7:30am and 7:59am).
  • Ordering closes at 8:00am on Wednesday (on the day you need a school lunch). Orders and changes after this time are not accepted by the system for that day.
  • If you make a mistake or change your mind after placing an order, you can change the order (before the 8:00am cut-off time) by doing the following:
  • Log in to your Qkr! account.
  • Tap the menu (3 lines) button at the top and go to "My receipts".
  • Click on the relevant date (E.g. 09/02/2022).
  • It will then go into your orders. Click on the minus button (one at a time) next to all your orders (if more than one).
  • Your order should say cancelled and a credit will sit on your Qkr! account for the next lunch order.
