Dear Parents and Carers
Welcome back to the term and to the progression of on-site learning.
With different restrictions still in place, it is necessary to cancel many of our extra-curricula activities that we had planned for Term Four. Our key focus, when students return to on-site schooling, is literacy, mathematics and student wellbeing.
Therefore, the following will happen:
- Foundation – Year 2 Swimming - cancelled
- Year Three Camp – cancelled
- Year Four Camp – cancelled
- Year Five Camp – cancelled
- Interschool sporting events – cancelled
We have rescheduled the Year 6 camp to Ballarat yet again in the hope that it may be able to go ahead in late November, but this will be decided at a later date.
In the case of events being cancelled, the amount charged to parents will be deducted from your school fees.

PAM - Parent Access Module
Here is the link for the St Clare's Parent Access Portal (PAM)
You username is the email address that you have registered with the school. The first time you log in we ask that you use the forgotten password feature to set your own password.
ALL parents must access PAM to receive up to date information and grant necessary permissions. Students will miss out on events if permission is not granted.
MEDICAL INFORMATION - When you update your child's medical information in PAM - PLEASE ensure this is accurate. The school must have current up to date asthma, allergy, anaphylaxis or medical plans for those students identified with these conditions and any other medical conditions such as diabetes or epilepsy. This is to ensure we have relevant information to assist your child with the management of these medical conditions.
Please ensure the school has your current contact details - this includes address, email, work numbers etc. To update details please email admin@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au or call 5940 6777. Through PAM parents are able to update your child's medical details.
