Communications

Northside uses a Parent Communication Portal to keep parents informed about upcoming events, academic reports, parent-teacher interview bookings, student timetables, college handbooks, and more. 

The portal is available in two formats: Parent Lounge for desktop access and Parent Orbit App as a convenient app for your phone. Offering seamless integration with your child’s school records, this portal serves as a vital information platform. We encourage you to download the app to stay up to date.

New to Northside parents will receive an email from Helpdesk with single sign-in login details for Parent Lounge/Orbit App. If you need assistance, please email helpdesk@northside.qld.edu.au
