Parent and Carer Contact Information - Updating your personal information
We often need to contact parents or carers of our students throughout the school day for many reasons. We may need to contact you by telephone (phone calls and SMS) or email. To avoid delay in reaching you please ensure your personal contact information and that of your emergency contact people is always up to date.
Remember to let us know you change any of the following contact information for yourself or nominated emergency contacts:
- Telephone numbers (mobile, work and/or home)
- Disconnection of any telephone numbers
- Email address
- Residential address
Is is also important to advise the school of any changes in family circumstances such as:
- changes to the order of preference in which you would like us to make contact on behalf of your child,
- one or both primary contact people are temporarily out of contact,
- change in or removal of nominated emergency contact people,
- implementation or changes to shared custody arrangements.
To advise the school of any changes in this information please:
- Parent Portal Notification
- Email or Telephone School Contacts.
- Visit the school front office in person between 8.30 am and 3.30 pm.
- Send a written note addressed to the front office via your child's classroom teacher.

The community plays a vital role in helping out and offering their expertise to Chapman Primary School with competitions and fundraising activities. Each year the school fete is a fantastic culmination of the community's efforts.
Permission Notes
We are required to hold documented authorisation (written permission) from a parent or carer for all students to attend an educational experience, such as an excursion, which is to take place outside of school boundaries (offsite).
In these instances, a detailed Parent Information Note and Permission Form is issued to each student to be brought home, completed and returned to the school for students to participate. These are also published on the Parent Portal and school website, with hard copies available at front office.
Upcoming events are listed on the Parent Portal and Website school calendar, are included in the Communicator and displayed on the school's digital notice board on Perry Drive.
