IT Platforms for Parents & Students

Parent Lounge is our TASS Parent Portal. In Parent Lounge, families can view any relevant notifications or daily notices, as well as keep up to date with assessment tasks and activities. To access Parent Lounge, you can go to https://portal.cccgympie.qld.edu.au/parentlounge/login.cfm or click the link in the top-right corner on the CCC Website. We recommend bookmarking / adding this as a favourite in your web browser so that you can access it easily. If you are unsure of your username or password, please contact Administration.

Student Café is our TASS Student Portal. Secondary students are already familiar with using Student Café to view daily notices, their class timetable, and to complete and submit activities and assessment tasks online. Most students should already have a link to Student Café saved on their device. If you don’t have a link saved, you can go to https:// portal.cccgympie.qld.edu.au/studentcafe/login.cfm or click the link in the top-right corner on the CCC Website. We recommend that students bookmark / add this as a favourite in their web browser so that it can be accessed easily. Students sign into Student Café using their 6-digit student number and their CCC password.

MSTeams is an all in one tool that is part of CCC’s Office 365 platform. MSTeams allows teachers to live-stream their lessons to students and have recordings of these lessons available for students to play back on demand, as well as allowing teachers and students to work together. MSTeams also facilitates one on one communication via audio or video between students and teachers in real time. This guide from Microsoft explores Teams in more detail. Students sign into MSTeams with their CCC email address and password. Most students should already have the Teams app installed on their device. If students do not already have the MSTeams app on their device, they can sign into the Office 365 portal at www. office.com with their CCC email address and password then click on the MSTeams icon. After signing into MSTeams, the app can be downloaded by clicking the Download desktop app icon at the bottom left of the Teams interface.

MSOneNote is another tool in CCC’s Office 365 platform that allows teachers to share resources and instructions for completing class tasks with their students within a Class Notebook. The Class Notebook also provides a space for students to complete class tasks and for teachers to provide ongoing feedback. This is a program that teachers and students have already been using for a few years at CCC. Most students in secondary will already have the MSOneNote app installed on their device and will be engaging in their Class Notebooks using this. MSOneNote can also be accessed by students via the web by signing into the Office 365 portal at www.office. com with their CCC email address and password, then clicking on the MSOneNote icon.

Education Perfect is a fun, responsive and effective way to learn online.

We are constantly updating the CCC Website with new information as it comes to hand. Our https://ccc.qld.edu.au/covid-19/ page provides updates, FAQs, parent resources, and important information on how we can stay connected as a school community and how learning will continue this year. We also have information about our direct care hotline and a prayer request form that can be filled out so that a member of our Support Services Team can be holding your family before the Lord in prayer.
