Staying connected to College news and events

With school back in full swing, it is vital for families to stay connected to the latest news and events at the College. To assist families with this, we have several tools and resources available for to ensure you remain informed and engaged.

Veritas Online and Parent Lounge access

Accessing Veritas Online (VO) and the Parent Lounge allows families to view academic reports, accept invitations to excursions and incursions, update student medical details, notify the College of absences, and receive information on assessments. If you experience any difficulties accessing Veritas Online, please contact our dedicated IT Support team by email at itsupport@ssc.nsw.edu.au or by phone on 9745 7104 for assistance.

I encourage all families to check that all the details in their child’s records are up to date, including parent and emergency contacts, medical details and photographic permissions.

Santa Sabina Parent Event Calendar

Parents are encouraged to subscribe to the Santa Sabina Parent Event Calendar and download it to their preferred calendar application. By doing so, you will be able to keep track of all student events taking place across the College. Instructions for subscribing to the calendar are available by logging in to Veritas Online, where you can follow a provided link for step-by-step guidance on adding the calendar to Google, Outlook or Apple Mail.  The calendar is also available to view on Veritas Online.

Santa Sabina App

The College App is an essential resource for staying up to date. Through the app, parents can access the College Calendar, read the latest newsletters, check upcoming sporting fixtures and music lessons, and view parent notices, among other features. The App is also able to push notifications to your phone which is ideal if sport fixtures are cancelled due to weather or to keep you updated on camp buses.  The app can be downloaded at the App Store or on Google Play.

Road Safety Reminders

With the year commencing there is much heavier traffic on the road. Recently, there have been multiple incidents on both Carrington Road and Jersey Road involving impatient drivers performing illegal manoeuvres in traffic. These behaviours pose a serious risk to students and other pedestrians in these areas. All parents are urged to exercise patience and consideration when using these streets during drop-off and pick-up times. Council Rangers and Police are regularly present, patrolling these areas in the morning and afternoon to ensure compliance with road rules.
