As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
The school counsellor can assist when families undergo a trauma or big change. Contact us to make an appointment. For information in community languages, see school counselling service.
Outside of the education system, free telephone counselling services are available to support families who may be going through a difficult time.
Sometimes children must be kept away from school or childcare if, for example, they have a certain type of infectious disease. Here is some information about what will happen if your child needs to be excluded from school.
Should I keep my child home from school?
This depends on how easily the infection could spread, how severe the disease is and the length of the incubation period. Please open this document for a list of common childhood illnesses and their recommended exclusion periods.
If you are unsure please call the school.
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
