On Monday 16th August you received an email from connect@parra.catholic.edu.au or SMS (for those parents without email) from Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta (CEDP) asking you to review and, where necessary, update the key information they hold about your children currently enrolled in CEDP schools. 

The purpose of this review is to ensure that CEDP has the right details to correctly identify and support students, including contacting families in an emergency or to share important updates. 

Steps have been taken to ensure this process is as secure as possible to protect your information and your family’s privacy. Your information is only accessed by authorised staff when it is necessary and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

The link is open until Friday 3 September and we encourage you to complete the review/update as soon as possible to ensure that your family’s correct details are on file. This is particularly important as Greater Sydney remains in lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. 

This short “how to” video may assist you with completing the process (use the closed caption icon to turn on subtitles). Please don’t hesitate to contact the school office if you have any questions or concerns.

Only one person per family needs to complete the survey and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. If you have any questions or to seek help, please contact the CEDP Community Liaison Team on 9840 5796.

Not getting enough sleep?

There's a lot going on at the moment and getting a good night's sleep can be a challenge.

Keeping a sleep routine can help you feel less stressed, more energised and improve your concentration. Some basic tips for a good night's rest:

• stop using screens for at least an hour before bed
• listen to some calming music
• read a book
• keep a consistent sleep routine
• keep the bed for sleeping

Connection with family, friends and others in your support circle is vital for wellbeing, especially during tough times.

While we can’t visit others at the moment, we can still connect in other ways.Please take 10 minutes in your day to call and check in on your loved ones. Many people in our community have language barriers, might not know the current health advice, or need some extra mental health support. Not only will they appreciate the contact, it may benefit you too! Take time today to help others stay safe by sharing the audio messages with your family and friends.
