NORTHSIDE APP UPDATE
The College is currently only using SEQTA Engage and Consent2Go as its communication apps with families The Northside App is not currently available for families to access and its features are currently under review.
SEQTA ENGAGE AND CONSENT2GO
Have you downloaded SEQTA Engage and Consent2Go?
SEQTA Engage is an important communication and information tool for both the College and for parents
Consent2Go is used to allow parents to record student health information, approve off-campus activities online and update media permissions
If you need help accessing your accounts or with either app, please speak with our Reception staff.
STUDENTS CANNOT BE DROPPED OFF AT SCHOOL BEFORE 8:15am
As we start the new year, it is important to remember that students cannot be dropped off at school prior to 8:15am.
Teachers start supervision duties at 8:15am, therefore it is unsafe for any student to be onsite without a parent actively supervising them before this time.

The Wellbeing Barometer survey is an invaluable tool for schools, providing critical insights into the mental health and wellbeing of young people. This annual survey identifies areas of concern, highlights resilience and adaptability in students, and emphasises the importance of preventative strategies to promote positive outcomes.
Participation in this survey is strongly encouraged, as it offers a comprehensive view of students' experiences, challenges, and achievements. By capturing a detailed understanding of young people's experiences, the survey supports a tailored approach to enhancing their mental, emotional, and social wellbeing. It helps to identify strengths and areas for improvement, as well as pinpoint opportunities for early intervention.
The survey is part of an ongoing longitudinal study, and we encourage you to take a few moments to complete the survey for each of your children. Responses remain anonymous and should be based on your observations over the last 12 months By working together, we can reduce the long-term impact of mental illness and make a meaningful difference to the lives of our young people for a brighter future.
We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this Special Report, and as always, we welcome your feedback.
If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the school for further information or seek medical or professional help
