(2) First aid update
There will be a new Student Medical Profile system introduced next semester that is based on SIMON. This means that all student medical information will be accessed and updated via PAM instead of the Parent Portal. By utilising the Medical Profile on PAM, teachers have quicker and clearer access to any important, relevant medical information through the student desktop, rather than needing to access it on a different system. We believe this is the most effective way in continuing to keep students safe at school.
New System – New Information Required
Please be aware that as this is a new system, all previous medical information cannot be transported across from the Parent Portal to PAM (including any management plans), therefore you will be required to complete the PAM online medical form, regardless of whether you have provided us with the information before. The College will contact you early next term with more information about when and how this will be implemented. Of course, we are available to assist you with any queries, concerns or support to access the system once it commenc
(3) Parent communication channels reminder
The College uses SIMON (Parent Access Module) as our Learning Management system and the Parent Portal as our administration system.
Parent Access Module (PAM)
The Parent Access Module (PAM) is your access to SIMON. This is where you access daily messages, student timetables, assessment tasks, reports, interviews etc.
Parent Portal
The Parent Portal is used for accounts/payments, excursions and camps, forms and information etc. This is also currently used for updating and viewing student medical information but will switch to PAM in Term 3, 2019.
(4) Fee payment reminder
The Term 3 Quarterly Tuition Fees are due and payable by 17 July 2019. Please refer to your annual statement, downloaded in January on the Parent Portal for your quarterly payment amount.
