2023 FOUNDATION TRANSITION PROGRAM

SENTRAL NEWS

We are excited that from 1st February 2022 parents will be able to make payments for excursions, incursions, camps and curriculum contributions via the Sentral platform. Permission for activities will also be done via Sentral, replacing our current paper based system.

This will be a great time saver for families – no more searching in the school bag for lost permission notes as payments and permissions can be done quickly and easily in one transaction via Sentral. A push notification on your smart phone will alert you when you have items that need attention so please ensure you turn notifications on when you set up the app so you don’t miss a thing!

Sentral have made recent improvements to the Sentral for Parents App, making it even easier to login via your smart phone to use the features you are used to accessing (recording an absence, reading reports, booking parent/teacher interviews) as well as the new functionality of payments and permissions. Please follow this link for instructions – for existing app users and those who are yet to use the app.

We will continue to use the Qkr app for fundraising payments but all other financial transactions will now be payable via Sentral.

Families new to the school have already been emailed their access codes and login instructions. Please contact the office if you have not received an email or need assistance in logging into Sentral for the first time. A user guide is also available via the link above.

Please bear with us while we are getting used to these new modules as there will no doubt be some teething problems, especially at the busy start of the year. However, we know parents will appreciate the more streamlined, one-step process and thank you for your patience.

Stay tuned for more to come!
