Drivers reminded to keep our community safe
Parents/carers are reminded to use the college car park and entrance roundabout safely and respectfully when dropping off and picking up children at the college. Drivers are not to block the roundabout at the car park entrance as buses and nearby residents also need to be able to drive through the roundabout. Children are not to be dropped off in the roundabout or in the roadway of the college car park. Drivers must park their vehicle before allowing children to leave the car. Drivers are urged to please help us keep our children, staff and community safe.
The many ways we communicate with families
Parents/carers are reminded that the Parent Access Module (PAM) is the main platform the college uses to communicate with families. Other forms of communication include the St Anne's College Facebook page, the fortnightly college newsletter - il giornale - and email.
Families are asked to ensure that they check PAM daily for important updates and information. PAM is the portal through which parents receive activity permission forms and 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. 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.
