Communication

I encourage parents to check their compass or email communications on a weekly basis.

Our weekly events infographic is posted each weekend, on our Facebook page and via compass. This includes the week’s events, uniform days, masses canteen days and relevant information. Any cancellations or last minute changes will be sent via a compass message. These can be referred to throughout the week, if you need a gentle reminder, before making a phone call to the school office, which does not open until after 8:20am.
