We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.

For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.

Communicating with St Clare’s College Waverley
We believe that communication is crucial and continually update parents about learning, procedures, and protocols. Communication for parents is through the Compass App, which is a place for parents to receive regular updates, snapshots of learning, grade-specific information, parent information sessions, school reports, newsletters, and notes. 

We encourage parents to follow St Clare’s College on our social media pages:

 Parents are also welcome to visit the office staff if they require assistance.
