SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
We have recently had a couple of issues where parents/carers have reported that they are not receiving emails from the school. Can we remind parents to save the groupcall address for the school as a contact or safe sender: 13ED011@groupcallalert.com to ensure that you do not miss important information from us. We also recommend that you download Eduspot (previously known as Xpressions). Eduspot is a secure communications app for schools similar to and working on the same principal as other apps you may already be using for general communication such as Whatsapp.
