Parent Lounge

3 min read

We are excited to be launching Parent Lounge from Term 3 2024. This is a first step in improving how we communicate and make information available to you.

Parent Lounge is a dashboard giving you access to attendance, medical, financial, and family data that we hold about you and your students. It replaces Consent2Go as the central source for this information and allows you to check and maintain the information we have on record at any time.

Each parent will be issued a College account that will provide you with Single Sign On (SSO) access across our platforms, beginning with Parent Lounge in 2024.
