Are sessions recorded?

We record sessions for our members to watch at a time that works best for you. During the meeting, your sound will be off and your image won’t be visible to others at the meeting, the host will share a presentation and guide you through the agenda.

Who can attend the session?

We run our core sessions for Connect members and have sessions each term that are open to all parents, carers and parent groups.
