School Information Package 2025

Important school information is contained in the School Information Package. It is regularly updated throughout the year.

nForma Portal  - app version available too!

At Sacred Heart, we use nForma for all school communication, including:

• Student reports at mid-year and end-of-year
• Notices and permission forms
• First aid advice
• Parent-teacher interview bookings

This platform ensures streamlined and effective communication across our school community.

***We no longer use Operoo or Audiri, so please remove these, unless used for other schools or sporting organisations.***

CDFpay - now an app!

All purchases for uniform, P&F events and also Tuck Shop orders are placed through the CDFpay app. Please ensure you have downloaded it.

ATTENDANCE:

Rolls are marked from 8:55-9am.  If your child arrives after 9am please sign them in at the office.  Please classroom teachers and cc the office (admin@shs.catholaic.edu.au ) to advise any absence or late arrival.  Our attendance system will send an automated SMS to parents if we haven't received explanation by 9:30am (SMS system rolls out according to roll confirmation time).  Soon, nForma portal will have the capacity to enter absences directly.

You can also leave a phone message.

DROPPING ITEMS AT THE OFFICE:

If you have something to drop in at the office for your child, please ensure it is labelled clearly with their name and class.  It will be passed on at the next break time.  We do not interrupt class time. Please keep these drop offs to a minimum.

MESSAGES TO CHILDREN - CHANGE IN PICK UP DETAILS ETC

Please ensure you ring through any messages to be passed on to your child.  Email cannot be relied upon as we may not see it in time, or staff may be absent.  The best way to ensure a message will be passed on is to PHONE the office.  Children are not to contact parents directly using electronic devices.  

P&F PAYMENTS:

Payments for the P&F (i.e. for functions or uniform shop) must be kept separate from school payments. The P&F have a separate bank account—please do not use the school bank account for their payments.  Most P&F functions/events can be paid for on CDFpay, same as the uniform shop.

· Remember, if unsure of anything at all in relation to administration matters at school, don't hesitate to ring the office and we will be more than happy to assist you. 

· The office is open between 8:30am and 3:45pm Monday –Friday.
