Connect Guide for Parents

Connect is an integrated online environment developed by the Department of Education WA for staff, students and parents in public schools. Your secure login details to Connect includes a P-number and Password. It allows parents to view their children’s assessment results and attendance. It is also the College’s secure method for providing parents with important notices from the College. Parents must have access to Connect to receive these notices. Any parent who has a recorded email address with the College will have access to Connect for each of their children at the College. If parents wish to be removed from this service, please contact the College. If parents do not have Connect access then they are welcome to ring the College to be provided with login details. Access to the Connect link is via our College’s website at www.woodvale.wa.edu.au/ on the left hand side under Student Quick Links or open a browser on your computer, type the address connect.det.wa.edu.au in the address bar and press the enter key.

Lost or cannot remember log- in details: Parents who have forgotten their login details or have locked themselves out of their account must email Absentees at woodvale.sc.absentee@education.wa.edu.au and state their name, their child’s name and year group to request new login details to be sent (please note for security purposes, we will not unlock accounts over the phone).

Connect Now Connect also comes with a very handy App (either iTunes or Google Play) called Connect Now. By downloading this app, parents will be provided with notifications when a Notice has been sent.

the password.
