Parent Lounge 

Have you checked out our new Parent Lounge online portal? 

Parent Lounge is a place where you can view and update student and family details, absences, and medical information. Additional features will be introduced in the future.

At the beginning of Term 2, you should have received an email with your new User Name and instructions on how to access the new Parent Lounge feature. If you haven't received an email, please check your junk email, and then call the school office for assistance.

Once you have logged in, please take the time to click around to explore what is available in Parent Lounge. We also ask that you check that all of the information listed under Parent Details and Student Details is correct. This includes address, MCEECDYA Details, student emergency contact details, student medical information and church attending.

If you have any queries or need assistance to login, please contact the school on 6423 1373 or email reception@dcs.tas.edu.au
