Burrendah Primary School utilises 'Connect' to communicate with the school community and share important notices, newsletters and forms. Classroom teachers will also use Connect to share information relevant to their students.
Connect is a secure online environment developed by the Department of Education for staff, students and parents in public schools. It gives our teachers a tool to deliver content to the students via an online classroom. This means your children are able to share with you what they are learning about, submit assignments and discuss issues together online anywhere, anytime. For you, Connect provides easy access to information relevant to your child’s classes.
Connect is accessible via an app or website browser www.connect.det.wa.edu.au
Download Connect Now from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
