We are excited to announce the launch of A.B. Connect, our new Communications and Learning Management System (LMS). A.B. Connect aims to simplify the communication you receive as a parent, ensuring that the information is relevant to you and your child. Instead of emailing, the College community will now receive information through news posts on A.B. Connect. Personalised communication can be viewed on your news feed at the time of publishing, which is accessible at any time. If relevant information is posted to your news feed on a given day, you will receive one email (the News Digest) in the afternoon, summarising the day's communication. Clicking 'Read More' will take you to the full news post on A.B. Connect. Students will access their information in the same way – through their news feeds or the News Digest email.

Looking ahead, we will launch the LMS within A.B. Connect later this year. In the Junior School, students gain access from Term 3, while Secondary School students will engage with learning content starting Term 4.

To familiarise yourself, we have posted a recording of the introductory webinar in your news feed. For those facing technical difficulties, a support session is scheduled for Tuesday, 30 January, from 3:00pm to 3:30pm in the Elderslie Theatre. You can also reach out to us at connect@abpat.qld.edu.au for email support—we're here to help.
