Staff Essential Information

TV Screens

All year levels have TV screens which also assist in communicating to students. Other TV Screens can also be found in the Heritage Corridor, the Library and Reception. These are generally reserved for specific year level related announcements, or school-wide communication. Any staff who need to communicate to a specific class or co-curricular group should use alternative methods outlined previously.

Please submit any items to the relevant staff member listed below:

• Year Level TV Screens (Year 7 - 12) - Year Level Coordinators

• Common Areas (Heritage Corridor & Reception) - AV Technician

• Library - Head of Library

Staff Communications

General Information

Every staff member has access to the following when communicating to students, parents or other staff members:

• Their Mazenod College email address - Staff are required to check their inbox daily.

• An Office Telephone - A list of staff telephone numbers can be found in MazCom under ‘Staff Services’.

• Each staff member has a voice message programmed on their office telephone and is advised to regularly check these messages. If staff require assistance setting up their voice messages, they should contact the AV Technician. Telephone messages will not be taken at Reception unless they are extremely urgent.

• All staff have access to Microsoft Teams as the preferred method of communicating, sharing files and collaborating.

• MazCom - Staff can search for specific members of the College Community including other staff, students or parents. Individual or group messages can be sent via MazCom.

Principal’s Weekly Update

A weekly bulletin will be sent to all staff on Friday afternoon to plan for the following week. This includes relevant information from all members of the Leadership Team and College Executive.

Staff News

Regular updates and news can be uploaded to the ‘Staff News’ Tile on MazCom. Items in this tile include recorded staff meetings, virtual meeting rooms (via Microsoft Teams), staff wellbeing news and newsletters, and other social forums for staff to remain in contact. In addition, agendas for professional development days or staff retreat days are uploaded to the PD tile, and full year meeting schedules are currently uploaded to staff services files.

All staff are expected to attend this online gathering and information sharing session. This excludes part time staff who do not work on Wednesday mornings. Briefing minutes can be found under the “Staff Information” tile on MazCom. Once per term, a breakfast briefing will be held in the College staffroom.
