Year level contact lists and WhatsApp groups - get involved!
Just before the school year started, you would have received a message via Compass from your parent reps for the year, inviting you to join your year level contact lists and/or WhatsApp groups. We've had a great response so far; thanks to everyone who has already signed up. If you missed it and would still like to join, it's not too late. Links have been sent out again via Compass.
The contact lists and WhatsApp groups are intended to:
Provide a social connection for families in the year level
Provide a place for you to ask questions about school logistics
Remind you to read Compass and the school newsletter for communications from the school!
Support teachers, the PFA and the school by sourcing parent volunteers for events/activities.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Anna, the year level rep liaison, on 0407 830 820.
