Term 2 School Fees:
Term 2 School Fees are now overdue. Please make sure you contact the office to finalise your term fees, if you have not already done so. Thank you.
Parent Portal:
Information was emailed home earlier this week to parents about the roll out of the St Saviour's Primary Parent Portal.
Thank you to all of the parents who have uploaded the parent portal to their devices. We really appreciate your support as we transition to this new platform. Initially we will be using the Sentral Parent Portal for permission forms and Absentee notifications. As the year progresses we hope to add further features to the app for parents to access.
We have been advised that there are some issues with the Android version of the app and an update is on the way to correct this. We will send an alert out via SZapp to advise parents once this update has been released to the Google Play store.
If you are not using an Android phone and having any issues with setting up the app please contact the office for assistance.
School Improvement Survey:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This year our school will be participating in a School Review and Improvement survey managed by Research Australia Development and Innovation Institute (RADII). As well as school staff and students from Years 5 - 12, all parents are invited to participate in the survey. The survey provides valuable feedback for the future directions of our school. It would be appreciated if parents could update their contact details prior 25 June 2021. This will ensure delivery to the correct parent email addresses are available.
On Monday 26 July 2021, RADII will send all parents a personalised invitation to complete the survey online. If both parents' email addresses are on file at the school, the invitation will be sent to both parents. However, the survey will close once the first person has completed it. If you do not wish to complete the survey, simply delete it. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. You can complete the survey from anywhere you have access to the internet. The survey will close on Sunday, 08 August 2021. We encourage you to be very honest in your responses to the surveys. All responses go directly to RADII so they are confidential and anonymous. When the surveys are completed, and responses aggregated by RADII, overall data is sent to us so that we can then share the findings with you.
