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.

Canvas

Used for all learning-related information, including curriculum activities, grades, feedback on learning, assessment calendars and more.

Sentral

The Sentral parent portal is used for administrative records, including attendance, absence notifications and academic reports.

These systems work together to ensure students and families experience the highest standard of support across all aspects of learning at HSPA.
