KEEPING IN TOUCH
Staying informed at Saints
Parent Portal
The Parent Portal is a secure link to access college information and the first port of call to find:
- Forms and documents.
- The College calendar and information about school events.
- Student year-level information.
- Report cards.
- Staff contact details.
- Up-to-date college information.
- Access to book parent-teacher-student interviews via the PTO tab.
- Photos.
It is essential that if you are a parent or carer of a new student you set up portal access when he starts at the College.
- Access the portal by using the email address listed as your primary email contact.
- Instructions on how to set up Parent Portal access are included in the Parent and Carer Handbook.
- Links to the Student and Parent portals are on the College website www.sac.qld.edu.au under the Portal tabs.
- Most communication to you will be through email.
- Please ensure your email address is always up to date, as some emails need your permission so your son can take part in college activities.
Parent slips - EdSmart
Parent slips by EdSmart are also used to communicate between the College, parents and carers and can be accessed on your phone, tablet or computer. There is no need to download any apps or register, and the College keeps track of all forms and communications in a secure database.
- Parents and carers receive an email notification when a message is sent.
- The message has a secure link to click on that opens a web page version of the message and/or form to complete and submit.
