From the Office

2025

Welcome to the new school year!

During the time your child is enrolled at Holy Spirit College, you will receive regular communication through letters, emails, Parent Orbit notifications, our newsletter, social media posts, text messages, Parent Lounge and Student Café. 

Parent Lounge

Parent Lounge is an area of the College’s database that can be accessed by parents.  The information you access is strictly limited to your child(ren) and is password protected. New families will have already received an email from the College Office providing login details and instructions for accessing the Parent Lounge portal. Continuing families will be able to use the same login details as last year. Please contact our College Office (4994 8600) if you are experiencing any difficulties logging in to Parent Lounge.

To receive all communications between the College and your family, please ensure your contact details showing in Parent Lounge are up-to-date. Please note you have the ability to submit updated contact details through Parent Lounge and this is greatly appreciated.
