Mid-semester reports will be released online via the parent portal on Friday 3 September at 10.00am. Year 9 ExCEL reports will be released online on Monday 13 September at 4.00pm.

Families were recently informed of the changed arrangements for the final learning conferences this year. Students will attend classes on 6 and 7 September and there are now two progress interview sessions, on the evenings of

Student Progress Interviews
Thursday 9 and Monday 13 September.
5.03pm to 6.15pm and 7.00pm to 8.28pm

Bookings for both interview sessions will be available via PAM from 10.00am Friday 3 September. Bookings for Thursday interviews will close on Wednesday 8 September at 6:00pm, and bookings for Monday interviews will close on Sunday 12 September at 6.00pm.

Because interviews are on MS Teams, students should also attend online and be sure to take their devices home the previous Friday. On the mid-semester reports, teachers may have indicated that an interview is required. Parents may also initiate the interview by booking appointments to meet with their sons’ teachers. Teachers will be mindful to keep interviews to the times designated.

In 2022, Parade College will continue to use Jacaranda’s $110 Digital Bundle as its digital textbook/educational resource provider for students in Years 7 to 10.

This Digital Bundle offers great value as it provides access to eBooks and companion digital learning products across multiple subject areas including Mathematics, Science, English, History and Geography on your son’s digital device.

As part of this bundle, your son will receive access to over $500 worth of educational product that is required for your son for the 2022 school year.

Jacaranda Publishing will add all the prescribed eBooks and companion products to your child’s existing JacPLUS account.

To ensure that you receive your son’s 2022 school year text books and resources, you are asked to order and pay the $110 (plus $5 booking fee) online via Jacaranda’s payment portal by 15 October 2021. It will be available from 13 September.

Current Year 9 students enrolling in the Edmund Rice Pathways Program (ERPP) at Preston for Year 10, are not required to purchase the Jacaranda Bundle.

Booklists with the balance of items will be available in early November and will be required for the commencement of the 2022 school year.
