The strong relationship parents promote with the school augurs well for the future. There is a high level of communication between home and school - information nights, barbeques, parent / teacher nights, written reports and informal chats are but a few of the many communication features. Our school uses the Skool Loop and Class Dojo apps to send information to communicate with families.
