QParents App was Launched 2015
What is QParents? QParents is an online portal that provides a convenient new way for parents to communicate with their child’s school. As a parent, you can view your child’s student information and also submit changes to some of their details. The information that can be viewed includes report cards, attendance records, and timely access to invoices and payment details. Parents will also be able to update their child’s details, pay invoices online, and let the school know of changes to normal routine, such as when their child is unwell or has to leave early.
Other processes to facilitate communication include:
newsletters
interviews
parent information sessions: "My Time"
e-mails
school website
annual school report
telephone conversations
informal social gatherings
principal reports to the P&C and School Council
student report cards each semester
Individual Curriculum Plan (ICP) or Personal Future Action Plan (PFAP) planning conferences
ICP or PFAP review meetings
visits to the classroom and school.
Telephones are provided in all classrooms to facilitate ready contact between home and school at break times and before and after school. Teachers should not be contacted at home. The Principal can be contacted at most times on the general telephone number. This telephone has after hours voice-mail service and is regularly monitored.
