The Nest is our primary form of communication between school and home. Here you will have access to your child’s academic, skills and character journeys. You will find notifications about recent activities, receive notices for upcoming activities and be able to access many resources that are directly relevant to your child’s school experience.
BEFORE YOU START
We recommend accessing The Nest for the first time on a desktop computer. Please note that we utilise Microsoft Authenticator across our digital ecosystem to provide a secure experience, so you may require a mobile device nearby to verify your identity.
