At Carmel College, we are deeply committed to fostering a learning environment built on clarity, consistency, and accountability. These values are not only essential for our students’ success but also for the smooth operation of our College community. Achieving this vision is a shared responsibility—and your role as parents and carers is pivotal.

We are grateful for the many ways you already support your child’s education. To further strengthen our partnership and ensure our processes remain transparent and effective, we kindly ask for your continued support in the following areas:

Student Absences: Please notify the College promptly via BCE Connect or the Parent Portal whenever your child is absent. This helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures student safety.

Contact Information Updates: If your phone number, email address, or home address changes, please update your details through the Parent Portal. This ensures we can reach you quickly in case of emergencies or important updates.

Changes in Family Circumstances: If any changes in parenting arrangements or significant family events may impact your child’s learning or wellbeing, we encourage you to inform the College. This allows us to provide the appropriate support and care.

Assessment Support: Encourage your child to follow the College’s guidelines for requesting extensions on assessments. Supporting them in meeting deadlines and communicating proactively helps build responsibility and resilience.

By working together, we can ensure that our processes remain clear, accountable, and student-focused. Your engagement not only supports your child’s success but also strengthens the entire Carmel College community.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and commitment.

God bless,

Mr Reuben Chalmers
