From Your Leadership Team
Years 5/6 Camp
Kilvington Community Engaged in Education (KCEE)
Davina McClure, Deputy Principal
As many of you are aware, last week we launched the KCEE parent dashboard. It was great to see so many of you at the Parent Briefing which clearly demonstrates your commitment to your children’s learning journey.
KCEE is a system that will streamline communication, collaboration and student learning throughout the Kilvington community. It combines all the aspects, and more, of the Parent Portal and SharePoint, in an easy to use, parent-friendly information environment.
The KCEE Journey
Our KCEE journey began at Kilvington almost a year ago. A team of key staff members set out to select, shape and tailor a Learning Management System to meet Kilvington's student, teacher, parent and community needs in this ever evolving 21st century education environment.
In Term 4 2017, teachers received extensive professional learning on KCEE. We also worked with a team of parents to help us develop the parent dashboard – your gateway to a range of features that will provide an overview of your child’s progress, access to resources, and information about School news and events. In Term 1 2018, KCEE was rolled out to students. I am pleased to report that this has gone exceedingly smoothly.
Throughout 2018, the use and purpose of KCEE in the Junior and Senior Schools will differ in some areas. Please find the details outlined below:
SENIOR SCHOOL
- Review teacher feedback and student results
- See students’ assessment tasks, requirements and when they are due
- Access your child’s timetable and list of teachers
- Update your child’s medical details and consent information.
- Access the School calendar
- Find contact details of parents in your child’s year level
- Discover the latest news at Kilvington
- Access policies and general forms
JUNIOR SCHOOL

- Access class blogs
- Access your child’s timetable and list of teachers
- Update your child’s medical details and consent information

Last week you were emailed your KCEE log-in details. Please contact IT on 9578 6231 if you need any assistance accessing KCEE. A KCEE Help Desk has been established until Friday 4 May and can be reached via the IT Department.
Attached is an information flyer to help you navigate the parent dashboard. You will also find a copy in KCEE Support on your parent dashboard.
| I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and parents who have assisted in the development of the KCEE parent dashboard and the system overall, in particular, our very talented Academic Dean of Technology and eLearning, Kirsty Watts. We look forward to providing a dynamic and streamlined communications environment to you and your family. |
