Current Families

We acknowledge that it can be difficult to navigate the different communication platforms, particularly given the administrative overload of modern life. Our main parent interface for administrative matters is Parent Lounge. We also use SeeSaw and are commencing Microsoft Teams to support face-to-face learning for students. Newsletters are sent to your email and can be accessed via Parent Lounge. Class Parent Reps use Signal Messenger for sharing of class-specific information and support. You can find more information for current families below.

Acknowledge

On Parent Lounge, Families are able to acknowledge excursion and incursions.

Although parents provide annual consent for their child to attend excursions at the start of the year, the College still requires permission for the majority of excursions/events that go off-site and any incursions that have an elevated-risk element. This ensures that parents are aware of the event, and provides the opportunity to verify their child’s medical details before the event date.

Allied Health Providers

At Regent College we partner with the following providers to support students. Please note that the Speech Pathologist and Occupational Therapist are private clinicians and not directly employed by the College. Regent College does not receive any monetary benefit/commission from the provision of these services.

Speech Pathology

Students have access to a speech pathologist who holds clinics on the school grounds. The speech pathologist conducts initial screening assessments which are included in school fees. Further assessments, reports and/or therapy carried out incur private fees. The speech pathologist’s contact details are forwarded to families at the start of each year.

Refer to Speech Pathology Australia for further information about the role of a speech pathologist.

School Nurse

The school nurse performs routine vision and hearing checks for children aged 4-6 years in Kindergarten and Pre-Primary. Parents will be notified when this will occur. Throughout the year, teachers or parents may request a review of vision and hearing from the school nurse if there is a concern. It is expected that vaccinations are up to date prior to the commencement of Kindergarten.

Occupational Therapy (OT)

Students have access to an occupational therapist who holds clinics on the school grounds. Initial screening tests are included in school fees however further assessments, reports and/or therapy incur private costs. The occupational therapist’s contact details are forwarded to families at the start of each school year.

At Regent College we encourage parents and families to be involved as much as possible, and endeavour to provide opportunities after hours for those parents who work during the day.

Parents and families can be involved in many ways, including:

All parents and families will be asked to read and complete a Volunteer Declaration prior to serving.

Parental Visits During School Hours

Parents may be visiting during school hours to assist in their child’s classroom, attend an excursion, or to collect their child for an appointment. For all these scenarios, we ask that Parents please first visit the College Administration and sign in using the visitor management system tablet.

Parents are not required to sign in when:

Over 7 years old, children are recommended to remain in the booster until they physically outgrow it. Refer to Kidsafe (Western Australia) website for more information.
