Year 11 and 12 Student Absences for Semester Reports

As we approach the end of Semester 2 for Year 11 and 12, I would like to remind parents about completing their child's absence reasons. Explaining absences ensures your child’s attendance records are accurate and reported correctly.

To complete your child's absence reports:

1. Log in to your Sentral Parent Portal.

2. Navigate to the Absences section.

3. Review your unexplained absences and provide a brief explanation for each.

Parents can review their child’s attendance records by selecting their child's profile and navigating to Attendance.

Year 11 Examinations

A reminder that Year 11 Examinations continue in Week 9 in G Block.

Room Changes: Please check Sentral Daily Notices and the Hub window each day for your room changes.

Access to G Block: G-Block will be roped off during the examination period. Students are asked to walk around the block to access their classrooms.

Behaviour Expectations: If you are in classrooms near G-Block, please:

· Line up quietly

· Exit quietly to avoid disrupting exams.

Out of Bounds Area: During the trial exam period, the area between D and B Blocks is out of bounds. Students with lockers in this area must access them quickly and quietly, then move promptly to the main areas of the school.

Thank you for your cooperation, and best of luck to all Year 11 students!

Transition to Compass

Carroll College will be moving away from Sentral and transitioning to Compass in 2026. This change brings us in line with all schools in the Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese, ensuring a consistent platform for families and staff across our system.

One of the most important features of Compass is event consent. From the start of Term 4, a new process will be implemented. All event consents must be completed through Compass by the due date, no later than one week before the event date. Parents receive an email notification when an event their child is involved in becomes available in Compass. It is vital that this deadline is met. Having all consents submitted one week prior allows staff to finalise student numbers, confirm bookings, arrange transport, and organise catering. Late consents place significant pressure on the organising teachers and front office staff and may result in students missing out on valuable experiences. Please note:

· Phone calls and emails cannot be accepted as consent. Each event has specific questions to be answered, and these can only be completed in Compass.

· It is the responsibility of students to remind their parents of any upcoming events to ensure consent is provided before the deadline.

We greatly appreciate your support in making this transition smooth and successful. Your cooperation in meeting consent deadlines will ensure that events run efficiently for everyone
