Welcome to the 2024 school year. A special welcome to the new students and families who have joined us this year and welcome back to everyone else. The Admin Updates section of the newsletter will provide families with important dates for the term and exam timetables.

Sentral App for Parents

We are excited to introduce the Sentral for Parents App, providing a convenient gateway to the Sentral Parent Portal. It simplifies access to important information like student timetables, daily notices, and school reports. Additionally, parents can now effortlessly submit absence notes directly to the school via the app. 

Download the app today!

Once you have downloaded the app, search for Carroll College and log in using your Sentral username and password.

We hope you find it an easy way to access your portal information.

School Photos – late orders

School photo day was held on Tuesday 6 February. Parents can use the online ordering system to purchase photos after photo day. Simply visit The School Photographer website https://www.theschoolphotographer.com.au. There is no need to return the envelope if you order online after photo day. ALL students are photographed on the day so families will not miss out. If orders are made within 3 weeks of photo day, the photos will be delivered to the College with the school's main delivery. After this time, it will become a 'late order' and be delivered at a later date. Orders placed more than 30 days after photo day will incur a late order handling fee.

Umbarra – 2023 Yearbook

I am thrilled to announce the arrival of the 2023 Yearbook, Umbarra. The eldest member in each family has received their copy during homeroom this week. For 2023 Year 12 students, your copy will arrive at your doorstep via mail or with a sibling.

Umbarra is filled with memories and highlights from 2023. I hope you enjoy flipping through the pages and reading about many of the events that occurred in 2023.
