Parramatta Marist High School has three channels of communication to keep everyone informed. The School Webpage, the Skoolbag App and the Student Diary.
As a school, we believe that there are three questions that need to be answered:
- Why do we do what we do?
- How do we do it?
- What do we achieve from this?
The 'Why' is our Vision
The 'How' is our Mission
The 'What' is in our boys becoming Men of Marist
In answering the three questions, we have consolidated our forms of communication to the following:
School and wider community
WEBSITE
To our families and the wider community, our school webpage is our major form of communication. We regularly update the webpage on the many wonderful achievements of our staff and students as well as information about the school. These are then archived for future reference.
School and families
SKOOLBAG
To answer specifically the 'How' and 'What' questions from the school to our families, the SkoolBag app is used for sending notifications straight to parent/carers via the mobile app and email. The school will automatically enrol parents/carers into the relevant SkoolBag content groups using the details on file. SkoolBag is the main method of communication between the school and families which has mitigated the need for hard-copy communications to be sent home. Through the SkoolBag app, you can access links for the school website, Sentral Parent Portal, Canvas Parent Portal, the PMHS social media pages and the school newsletter.
Teachers and families
DIARY
To answer specifically the 'What' questions between families and teachers, we will continue to utilise the Student Diary for any day-to-day information.
