Leadership and teaching positions available

St Anne’s College is seeking applications from outstanding leaders and teachers to join our team in 2022. It is an exciting time to be part of our young college, with rapidly increasing enrolments and the construction of more amazing new facilities soon to commence. If any of these positions sound like the role for you, we’d love to hear from you!

Bookings open for PSG meetings

Consultation and collaboration are important elements of personalised learning for students at St Anne's College. Where a student has additional learning needs, a Program Support Group (PSG) involving key stakeholders, with the greatest knowledge of the student, is formed to work collaboratively to address their needs. The PSG meets once per term to discuss your student's learning needs and adjustments that are required to enhance their ongoing learning journey, celebrate learning and growth, review goals and set new short-term goals and strategies that will support your son/daughter to achieve these.

Parents of students who currently have a PSG can now book their Term 3 meeting on PAM (Parent Access Module) in the Parent Teacher Interviews tab. Bookings are open now and will close on Monday, August 9 at 4:00pm.

PAM main source of communication with families

Parents/carers are reminded to ensure that they regularly check the Parent Access Module (PAM) as it is the main source of communication between the college and families. PAM is the portal through which parents receive activity permission forms and important daily messages. The college does not use printed paper forms/notes to communicate this information. Parents/carers can also use PAM to check on their child's learning areas and to send parent-notified student absences. PAM is also the portal through which students' reports are accessed. It is important to log into PAM daily to check any updates or notices. If you have misplaced or forgotten your PAM login details please contact administration at office@sackialla.catholic.edu.au

Parents/carers can download the SIMON Everywhere app to get live notifications on everything that happens in PAM. Just search for 'SIMON Everywhere' on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, download the app and sign in with your PAM account.

Feedback form available on PAM

There is a link in the parent resources section of PAM which gives access to a feedback form for parents/carers to convey any feedback they would like to provide to the college.

Third-round enrolment offers finalised

Third-round enrolment offers for 2022 have now been finalised and any further positions will be offered to families on our waitlist as positions become available.
