School communication isn’t just about sharing updates — it’s about building relationships between school, families, and our students.
Our approach to communication is all about transparency, convenience and ensuring that you are connected, informed and feel fully involved in your child’s educational journey.
We use a variety of essential channels to share important news and information with families, and engage with our community, recognising that effective communication is a two-way street.
Stay connected and informed with essential communication tools: phone, email, SEQTA, our Weekly e-newsletter, website, meetings and Consent2Go. Click each icon to learn more about how we use these tools at Nazareth.
Administrative personnel are on hand during business hours to field your enquiries, answer questions, process some forms, and take messages. During class time R-12 teaching staff are not available to take calls. Early Childhood Centre families are encouraged to contact their child’s room directly should they wish to speak with a teacher or educator about their child.
What to expect via phone:
The primary form of online dissemination of key timely information for families. It is essential that email addresses are kept accurate, current and regularly checked. Families are encouraged to communicate with us through email at their convenience. Wherever possible, a response can be expected within 24 hours on Monday to Friday.
What to expect via email:
This is the main source of teaching and learning information for your child *.
The URL to access SEQTA Engage is www.parents.nazareth.catholic.edu.au

Meeting times are scheduled for Learning Conversations across R– 12 and the 3-5 year old neighbourhood at the Early Childhood Centre. Learning Conversations are formally offered twice a year on each campus, allowing one on one communication about your child. These dates are listed on our web calendar. Outside of formal Learning Conversations, we encourage families to arrange face-to-face meetings with staff as required. Contact our Campus Reception staff or individual staff members to make a meeting appointment.
Consent2Go is an online platform that allows you to authorise student involvement in activities and excursions. It is also the primary way that you can keep us informed or updated about your child’s medical information.
You can access this system in two ways:
Stay connected with us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Vimeo for a daily dose of engaging content, including exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ glimpses, the latest news, success stories, and celebrations. Families in our social media community are encouraged to engage with us in two-way conversation.
SeeSaw is available for R-6 families, and is a platform used to share student learning with families. On SeeSaw, you can expect photographs of your child’s classroom learning (a minimum of two posts per Term).
