Online learning support systems at HSPA
At Hunter School of the Performing Arts, a range of online systems work together to support student learning, wellbeing and communication. These platforms ensure families have clear access to accurate information and can stay engaged with school life.
Email is our primary method for delivering important information, including excursion permission notes, invoices and general updates. Families are encouraged to keep their contact details up to date and to monitor email regularly. Many families find it helpful to create a dedicated email account for school communication.
The HSPA website offers comprehensive information about our school, including policies, procedures and step-by-step guides.
We use three key platforms to allow parents to access learning and administrative information: Canvas, Sentral and School Bytes.
These systems work together to ensure students and families experience the highest standard of support across all aspects of learning at HSPA.
Canvas
Sentral
School Bytes
School Bytes is used at HSPA to allow parents to make payments and provide consent for excursions.
If you are having trouble using School Bytes, you can check out their helpful parent guides.
