PAM (PARENT ACCESS MODULE) - (NEW)
At St. Brendan’s we use The system is known as “PAM” – Parent Access Module and this along with our APP Simon Everywhere, is linked to the administration system we are using at school. All information stored on this program will be totally private and will be accessed by school staff only.
Through PAM / Simon Everywhere parents will have access to the following functions:
- Receive alerts through Simon Everywhere APP – via mobile or email
- Read Daily notices
- Notify of student absences
- Update student medical information
- Consent to excursions & camps
- View School Calendar
- Parent Teacher Interview Bookings
You will need a username and password that the school will supply once your child is enrolled into the school.
Students will not be able to participate in school activities such as camps and excursions without an up-to-date medical profile and permission which will all be completed on PAM/Simon Everywhere.
If you require support setting up please call in to our school office and we can help get you on your way with PAM.
See the Parent Handout from SIMON EVERYWHERE for instructions on how to access PAM.
Student Absences (NEW)
If your child is absent from school for the day or for a period of time, please report them absent on the PAM portal or contact the School office on 58 211 926 to advise.
An SMS will be sent out every day to advise of an unexplained student absence.
Please note, you are able to reply to the SMS.

Medications at School
If your child requires medication at school, a note identifying the child, class, medication name, dosage, and time to be given needs to be sent to the office.
The medication should be in the original container/box and should also have a chemist label on it. All medication is dispensed through the office and is signed off on a medication register.
If the appropriate permission is not sent with the medication, it cannot be given to the student. It is also a good idea to mention to the student’s teacher that there is medication at the Office and what time it is to be given.
