Electronic Permission Forms
Recently Dromana College switched to ‘Electronic Permission Forms’ through the DayMap Parent Portal, for inter-school sporting competitions and basic school excursions. This process will alleviate the amount of paperwork parents are required to complete whenever their student is participating in school activities and streamline the DayMap Parent Portal to make it a ‘one stop shop’ for a wider range of information. For whole year level, whole school activities, adventure activities and outdoor education camps, a more comprehensive written permission slip is still required, with detailed medical information.
We have endeavored to make this process as user-friendly as possible. We understand that there will be issues involved with early implementation and we thank you for patience and understanding. To grant excursion permission Parents are required to:
- access the Daymap Parent Portal via the Dromana College web page at www.dsc.vic.edu.au
- fill out the contact and medical information and then
- click on ‘Approve’
An electronic payment system will be introduced in the very near future, which will also streamline the payment process for excursions and parents will be able to complete their credit card details electronically to pay for the excursion at the same time. However, in the meantime please make your payment at the Administration Office.
Any parent who experiences issues with the above process should contact the Administration Office at the College, on telephone 5987 2805 or email 08377694@dsc.vic.edu.au so that we can assist you with navigating the Daymap Parent Portal.
Indonesian Homestay
Host families are required to host a group of students from Jakarta from 24 April to 4 May 2017.
There is no requirement to speak the Indonesian language as the students all speak English.
For further information please contact Mrs Theresa Stelling 5987 2805 / 0419 502 081 or via email stelling.theresa.p@edumail.vic.gov.au
