Reminder: Consent for Events on Compass – Highly Important 

We have made the decision that in 2025, we will be fully adhering to our ‘Camps and Excursions’ policy for consent for events. This means that the following will now take place:

• Students who have not finalised payment and consent by the required date will not be allowed to attend unless the Principal determines exceptional circumstances apply.

This is always a difficult decision for us as we never want a child to miss out on a school event. Unfortunately, we quite frequently undertake frantic phone calls and make hasty arrangements to receive consent as students are about to leave on an excursion.  This places extreme stress on the teachers and excursion organisers as they prepare to have students leave the school grounds.  This has led to mistakes being made and we can no longer take this risk. Furthermore, with many external excursions and camps, we need to set budgets for the event and this is dependent on the number of students attending.  This includes booking the right number of buses.

We will provide ample time (2 weeks’ notice) for events, except for hastily arranged sporting events that we do not receive that time from the organisers.  Additionally, we will also provide consent notification for an event and email reminders prior to the closing date. 

We suggest that you check Compass on a regular basis and consent for events as soon as they are published.  If you require financial support, please do not hesitate Sanober (Business Manager) and we can offer assistance. 

We thank you for your support and cooperation.
