Communication

At Mount Barker High School, we strive to foster a thriving and inclusive learning community by cultivating positive partnerships between our school and our families. These partnerships will be supported by highly effective communication channels between the school and home, which help foster the presence, participation, and progress of students.

We have numerous ways of communicating with our families.  These range from Daymap, sending SMS messages, Edsmart broadcasts or slips, the Barker Chronicle newsletter and through our social media pages.

Daymap is our school's student management system. Daymap holds your child's attendance, assessment, reports, and any other information recorded by staff. Daymap facilitates communication among the school, families, teachers, and students, as well as between teachers and parents/caregivers.

Communication can occur through the internal messaging service built within Daymap, or you may receive text messages from the school or staff. Text messages can be replied to; however, for urgent matters, please call the school directly.
