CONSENT FOR EXCURSIONS AND INCURSIONS

Since the beginning of this year, we have been using QParents to gain parental consent for most excursion and incursion activities for students in Prep to Year 6.

The process for gathering consent and payment for activities is to send out the consent form via QParents, allowing parents one week to complete the online form. Regular reminders are sent to parents with QParents who haven’t completed the consent until the due date. Using this consent, we then generate invoices for activities.

To ensure this continues as a streamlined process, from Semester 2, students who have not been granted consent by the due date will not be invoiced for an activity and may therefore be unable to participate in that activity.

When a consent form is added to QParents, an email is automatically generated to alert QParent account holders that there is a consent form to complete. This email comes from the address no_reply@oneschool.eq.edu.au. Parents may need to update this address as a safe address in their email application to avoid emails from QParents going to junk or spam folders.

The QParents app can be downloaded for free from your preferred app platform, and will also give notification alerts when a new consent form is available.
