ABSENTEE NOTIFICATIONS

As of Week 8, the College will phase out recording absenteeism by telephone and will instead encourage families to report an absence via a web form which is available to families via SEQTA Engage or the College website. The absentee phone line will no longer be checked as of this date. 

This web form should be used to report whole and part day absences for both illnesses and appointments. Once you submit the form you will receive an email with the details you entered. 

Families can phone Reception on 9246 8200 for urgent matters. 

The Sacred Heart College app will also be phased out. Families are instead encouraged to download the SEQTA Engage app from the App Store or Google Play.

PARENT CYBERSAFETY PRESENTATION 

I am pleased to announce that the College will be welcoming back Paul Litherland on Thursday 11 August at 7:00pm in the RNDM Theatre for a Parent Cybersafety Presentation. Paul is the owner of Surf Online Safe, a Perth-based internet awareness business. For close to 20 years, he has been working at the coalface of online crime. Since 2008, he has worked specifically with juvenile victims and their families, and has used those experiences to develop highly informative presentations regarding the risks of the online world.

Since leaving the Western Australia Police Force in 2014, Paul has grown to become one of the nations most recognised and highly awarded educators in the fields of Cyber Safety and Internet Awareness, culminating in him being named the 2022 WA Australian of the Year.

The aim of the presentation is to help parents better understand the networks and systems our teens are using online and to provide some strategies and advice on how to best support them in the many challenges they have, or will face, while navigating the complex digital world. Seats are limited, so please click the link below for further information and to book your seats.
