NEWS FEED

The news feed will be the central repository for transactional news relevant to your child/ren’s year group.

Items requiring action will be marked with the ‘Action Required’ image, as shown below.

The Bulletin will continue but with a focus on celebratory news and whole-of-community communications. A forthcoming separate article will explore the news feed and changes to the Bulletin in more detail.
