Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection

The Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection is a Commonwealth Government data collection. The 2025 collection will open on Wednesday 12 February 2025 and will close on the 12 March 2025.

The data collected will be used in conjunction with Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data to calculate a non-government school community’s anticipated capacity to contribute to schooling costs, known as the capacity to contribute (CTC) score.”

Further information from the Australian Government’s Department of Education is available please visit the SchoolsHUB address collection help and support page here.

We would ask all parents to review and ensure their College registered address and background data is up to date.

Updates can be made through either the Parent Lounge or Parent Orbit app.

Parent Orbit App Updates

The College continues to be committed to the full and most effective implementation of our new Parent Orbit App to optimise the sharing of information. The College would like to thank all those who have shared feedback regarding the app -  the 'pluses', the 'minuses' and the 'interesting'.

The College established an Orbit Working Group late last year, with this group reconvening this year on a regular basis. A key priority of this group is availing the communication of co-curricular information. The following refinements have been made in recent weeks:

For parents with students signed up to an activity:

• Fixture details will be shared on Tuesdays via an app notification to parents and a direct email to students
• Team lists will be published on Fridays via an app notification to parents and a direct email to students

For parents interested in fixture information beyond their son's activity:

• All fixture information will be available via Orbit Links_Sport

For staff:

• Fixture details will be shared on the Staff Portal via College Documents

For interested community members:

• Information will be shared via a link made available via College social media platforms
