School Communication

Arbor is the school’s central communication and management system, designed to make it easier for parents to stay informed and engaged with their child’s education. Through Arbor, parents can receive important updates and messages directly via email, including newsletters, event reminders, and urgent notices. This ensures that communication between school and home is streamlined and reliable. Arbor also allows parents to update key details about their child—such as contact information, medical conditions, and emergency contacts—ensuring the school always has accurate records.

In addition to communication and data management, Arbor is used to manage school meals. Parents can view menus, pre-order meals, and top up their child’s meal balance online, making it simple to keep track of spending and dietary choices. The system is accessible via a secure app or website, offering a convenient way to manage school-related tasks from home or on the go. Arbor helps create a more connected school community by giving parents the tools they need to support their child’s learning and wellbeing.

 

Below is our Communication Flowchart, which outlines how and when different types of messages are shared, helping everyone understand the best way to raise concerns, share updates or seek support. This structured approach ensures that communication is timely, appropriate, and reaches the right people, strengthening the partnership between home and school.
