CareMonkey

Catholic Regional College Sydenham takes student safety very seriously.  As such, we are adopting a new health, safety and electronic consent form program named CareMonkey to replace the existing Information systems used by the College.  

CareMonkey provides you with the opportunity to update medical information promptly and accurately while providing the College with instant access to the emergency information provided by you. In addition, the system will automatically update our College records to save families time and avoid miscommunication of changed contact details.

You can use a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone to enter the details including:

• emergency contacts;
• medical contacts;
• medical action plans including asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes;
• health and ambulance insurance details;
• notes and other care instructions from you;
• and more…

As a parent/guardian you will receive an invitation to join CareMonkey and enter details for your child/children.  By following the instructions you can create your own free CareMonkey account and control all data about your child/children. The CareMonkey system stores the information on your behalf and you will be able to grant (or deny) access to your data with our College. You are also able to share this data with any other group or individual you choose (eg. your child's grandparents, their child-minder, their sports club, etc). From the schools perspective, this information will only be visible by the relevant staff for your child and will be managed in accordance with the Privacy Act.  

You should have received an email requesting profile information. If you have not, this may mean your email is not up to date and you must contact the College immediately to provide us with a valid email address. Please feel free to contact the College if you have any questions. You can also visit the CareMonkey website for more information: www.caremonkey.com

If you do not have access to a computer the College has set up a “family hub” in Student Services and staff will be available to assist you.  If you require this service please contact the College to arrange a suitable time.

School Textbooks

Students are reminded to return their textbooks on the day of their exams.  These books are required by students in 2017.   Return boxes have been placed around the school for student’s convenience.  Year 11 students with outstanding books will not be permitted to borrow their Year 12 textbooks in Orientation and bills will be sent home to Year 12’s with outstanding items shortly.  If you have any concerns please don’t hesitate to contact Rita in the Learning Common.

Thanking you.
