Our School will be switching over to a new messaging platform called EdSmart.  This will be used for communicating with you beginning Monday 20 October 2025. This will replace our current system MGM Outreach. 

The new platform, called EdSmart is an Australian platform which is designed to improve communication in school communities by allowing electronic messaging i.e. SMS and emails.

It will be used to manage student absence messages i.e. you will receive a SMS or email alert if your child is absent from school requesting a response from you containing an explanation for the absence. 

Note, the text message sender will be a shortened version of our school’s name - Please keep an eye out for it!

Also paper based forms we currently use will transition to electronic forms over time.

For parent permission slips, you will receive an SMS or email notification with a link to click. This will open to a secure web page where you can complete the form. Any data you submit in the forms is stored safely with EdSmart and is only visible to authorised school staff.

This change will help make communication with families easier and timelier. It also reduces the number of paper forms we need to send home.

We understand that this may present some challenges for families and office staff are available to help with this change at any time.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
