Welcome to the 2025 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

If you haven’t downloaded the Sentral Parents App, now is the perfect time. The Parents App provides a convenient gateway to the Sentral Parent Portal, giving you instant access to essential information like student timetables, daily notices, and school reports. Additionally, you can easily submit absence notes directly to the school through 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.

Sentral remains our primary Student Management System, offering features such as attendance explanations, parent-teacher interview bookings, and access to reports, timetables, and daily notices.

We use Compass specifically for excursions, permissions, payments, and school fee transactions.

Qkr! is available to purchase school uniforms and calculators. 

School Photos
School photos will be held on Tuesday 11 March. Photo envelopes will be distributed to each student in the coming weeks in Homeroom.

Year 10 Immunisations 
Each year, NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for adolescents as part of the school vaccination program. 

NSW Health will be at the College to administer the vaccinations to Year 10 students on Wednesday 19 March.

Consent forms were handed out to students last week. Students can collect a consent form from the office if they missed out. Parents/carers will need to consent to their child's vaccination by completing either the paper form or the online form. Please note that only students with parental consent will receive the vaccination.

If you have questions regarding the college's immunisation program, please contact the Public Health Unit.
