Online Parent Permission for Excursions

21/02/2019

As some of you may already be aware, we are in the process of rolling out online permissions for students to attend offsite activities, this will be administered through the Parent Access Module (PAM).

Rather than the paper-trail that we know can go missing in the bottom of a school bag, all parents and carers are now required to do is log in to PAM, read over the details of the activity and then click on the consent button if you are happy for your child to attend.

One of the requirements of this system is that student medical profiles are complete and up-to-date. Whilst this may seem a small inconvenience when first completing, it will remove the need to fill in paper-based medical details for every offsite activity.

The early trials of this have worked very well and we hope it will be a much simpler process for all as we continue to roll this out across Term 1.

If any families require hard copies of permission forms, this is still something we can do; please liaise with the teacher organising the activity who will provide this.
