FROM THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
Pupil Free Day
A friendly reminder that Friday, 5 September is a pupil free day. We look forward to welcoming students and families back on Monday, 8 September.
Traffic and Parking
A big thank you to all the wonderful parents who have been following the Logistics team's guidance during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Your smiles, waves, thumbs up, and kind words have truly brightened our team's day. Managing traffic on a busy campus—especially in the rain—is no small task, and your cooperation makes a world of difference. We deeply appreciate your support in helping keep things safe, smooth, and positive for everyone.
Orbit Update
Thank you to the 946 parents who are already accessing our new parent app, Orbit.
Our new school platform is designed to enhance how you access and manage school-related information. Developed by TASS, our current Student Information System, this new application offers a more intuitive, centralised way to stay informed and connected. It replaces our existing Digistorm app, which is no longer available on Google Play and has now ceased to function. Orbit is built around the daily needs of parents, offering simplified access to school news, updates, and tools — including a direct link to GECO.
Do you still need to download the app? Click here. You can manually add our school using the code: SCGS.
Thank you for helping us enhance your parent experience.

Whether you're revisiting these messages yourself or sharing them with other families, we hope these tools empower you to create a safer, more confident digital environment for your children.
