All passwords for BNPS students will be distributed along with other learning materials at the start of Term. If you need to request a new copy of your child/rens passwords please contact the Office. 

BNPS will reopen in early 2021, and the parent to teacher contact form will be republished then. 

If you have an URGENT query, please call the school office on 03-9589-5449.

Compass is the online communication portal used by BNPS to broadcast information, collect absence and permission information from parents and guardians, and to distribute your child/rens assessment results and reports. During Remote Learning some additional information regarding lesson plans and learning tasks will also be sent to families using Compass.

Each family typically has a common Compass account name that looks something like this:  Smi0004

The link to the Compass login screen is HERE.

Each week the school will publish a form to register for Onsite Supervision. This must be completed as soon as possible each week.

All requests for supervision must be completed and returned to the school by MIDDAY each WEDNESDAY for sessions commencing the following week.

This must be completed on a weekly basis.

Students will not be permitted to attend the school in person unless this form has been submitted. 

On-site attendance for registered students starts at 9:00am each school day and concludes at 3:30pm unless otherwise advised.   

Remote Learning is learning that occurs beyond the classroom setting. The Department of Education has published detailed information on Learning from Home and related subjects on their COVID-19 advice for parents, carers and guardians page.

During COVID-19 children will work from home. The school will create and communicate schedules that shows what is expected of students in relation to the completion of tasks.

This communication will be through Compass, OneNote or Teams, depending on the year level of your child/ren.

This ‘How to’ video tutorial will take you through the process of accessing Microsoft Teams on your laptop (or mobile device).

IMPORTANT NOTE

Each family will find in their child/ren’s stationery packs a piece of paper containing their child’s passwords which they will require throughout remote learning.

The Login/Email for Microsoft Office 365 (which includes Microsoft Teams) is your child’s Office 365 Login PLUS @schools.vic.edu.au

For example:

Please don’t hesitate to contact the school should you require any further clarification.

The emotional and physical health and well-being of our students, families, teachers and support staff is everyone’s priority. 

BNPS has information on the website describing our Well-being Program.

All schools in Victoria are having to adapt to a changing environment and situation caused by the pandemic. Certain families and children may be considered high-risk due to concerns regarding existing medical conditions or other factors.

BNPS will consider these on a case-by-case basis, and will discuss learning options for you based on your family’s situation.

If you have concerns about your child/ren returning to on-site learning, you may:

• Telephone the school on 03-9589-5449 and speak with the front office regarding your concerns.
