Parent Zone will also give you information about what is happening at the college and the support available for you and your young person at any time. Through this portal you can book your parents evening slots, book to attend information events, communicate with teachers and tutors, or access WisePay to pay for trips etc.
You can contact teachers and tutors at anytime through the Parent Zone or email direct. You will have the opportunity to talk to relevant teachers each term to find out how your young person is doing, what they need to work on and to share any concerns you may have.

Regular communication with parents is essential for a good working relationship between the College and parents. Keeping parents up to date with what is happening at the College, operational changes or new developments. It is important that parents keep an eye on their emails for the duration that their young people are with us to keep themselves up to date.
