COMMUNICATION - Parent Portal Live

From the Wednesday 14 March 2018 the school will be using Sentral ‘student and Parent Portal' (website) for all communication.

The Portal, hosted by 'Sentral' provides both parents and students discreet information about each child's progress in our school and direct communication with school and parent, parent and teacher and student and teacher via a portal (website) and smart phone app (currently only available to parents).
 

• All students have been granted access to their student portal at the start of 2018. They log onto their portal using their DoE portal user name and password.

Parents were sent an email to their preferred family email account yesterday (Tuesday 13 March 2018). They have been granted access to their child's data via a unique 'Access Key' sent to them in the email. They received two access keys in the email, each access key can only be used once (one person register). the following links are available on our website in 'Communications - Parent Portal' to support the setup process.
