NEW KT OOSH Parent Committee

RHAC KTOOSH have formed a parent committee effective this term which will be an important part of our KTOOSH community.  The Parent Committee will meet together once a term to hear and discuss any updates on KTOOSH and there will be a time to give any feedback. The parent committee will change every year and this will help ensure that a wide variety of parents are represented in these meetings.
KT OOSH require five parents on the committee of which we currently have four.  This leaves one place available and would love some expressions of interest to fill this.  Preference for one place would be that the parent is actively involved in the colleges P & F.
Regards Management 🙂

My Family Lounge!!!! Online Observation & Programming

Effective from Monday 2nd November 2015 KT OOSH will be offering an online observation & programming system called My Family Lounge.  Educators have been trialling and learning to use this system throughout Term 3 & Term 4 and have done a fantastic job capturing your children enjoying there morning and afternoons at KT OOSH.

There will be a parent information night on the My Family Lounge System at Rouse Hill Anglican College next Wednesday 4th November 2015 @ 5:30pm in the KT OOSH Room (A Block).  We encourage all parents to come along and gain insight into the system and to learn how to manoeuvre your way around it to gain the most out of it.  My Family Lounge is a secure online system that can only be accessed by currently enrolled KT OOSH familes.

Parents will be emailed all login information (individual Usernames and Passwords) directly from the online program.  With your unique login you will only be able to access your child’s photos and observation and that of any group activities they maybe involved with.  All child observations and information are confidential and can only be viewed by another family if another child’s name appears on the same observation.  You will be able to log on to see photos we have uploaded of your children at KT OOSH, that of their friendship groups and programming for each session.  This is a fantastic system and we hope it will assist our families with having a closer connection with the daily running of our centre and an insight into what their children are doing at KT OOSH.

Please be aware this is a private system and only currently enrolled KT OOSH parents with Usernames and Passwords will be able to access this site.  Once a family closes their account with KT OOSH they will no longer have access to the online My Family Lounge system.
