With school back in full swing, I am sharing some important reminders for families to ensure that you stay connected to the latest news and events at the College.

Parents can subscribe to the Santa Sabina Parent Event Calendar and download this to your calendar of choice. This will ensure that you stay on top of all the events happening for the students across the College.  For instructions on how to access the calendar, log in to Veritas Online and follow this link which provides instructions on how to subscribe to the calendar on Google, Outlook and Apple Mail.

The College App is another essential tool for staying informed.  Parents are able to access the College Calendar, latest newsletters, check upcoming sporting fixtures and music lessons read parent notices and much, much more. Instructions on how to download the app are below.

Access to Veritas Online (VO) and Parent Lounge will enable Families to view Academic Reports, accept invitations to excursions and incursions, update student medical details, inform the College of Absences and provide information on assessment. If any families are having difficulty accessing Veritas Online, it is important to contact our dedicated IT Support team via email at itsupport@ssc.nsw.edu.au or by phone on 9745 7104 for assistance.

There have been numerous reports of late, on both Carrington Road and Jersey Road, of incidences of drivers performing three-point and U-turns over the double lines to exit the Kiss and Ride zone. This manoeuvre is not only illegal, but it puts students and other pedestrians in these areas at great risk of harm.  I urge all parents using these streets during drop off and pick-up to demonstrate patience and consideration to all users of the roads. Council Rangers and the Police are often present patrolling these areas, both in the morning and the afternoon, to ensure that drivers are complying with road rules.
