COMMUNICATION
Strong partnerships through clear communication
At Mount Barker High School, we build a thriving and inclusive community by maintaining strong partnerships with families through clear, consistent and effective communication. Using a range of platforms, including Daymap, SMS, EdSmart, newsletters and social media, we ensure parents and caregivers stay informed and connected to their child’s learning and wellbeing.
COMMUNICATION
Keeping families informed and engaged
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.
