TRANBY’S NEW SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM

From the start of the 2024 academic year, Tranby is moving over to ‘TASS’, a new school management administration system that centralises information for staff, students and families. TASS replaces SEQTA and can be accessed by parents, guardians and students via the following portals:

  • Family Lounge – provides families with easy access to information about their child’s learning and the College. It also allows families to update and manage contact details, attendance, medical and swimming level information. Families can also find contact details for their child’s teachers.
  • Student Café – helps students in Years 5-12 manage their study commitments with access to their timetable, subject resources, project deadlines, results and teacher feedback.
Information on how to use the following functions within Family Lounge is detailed below. 
(Students will receive instruction on using the Student Café during classes at the start of the year.) 

ACCESSING THE FAMILY LOUNGE

  • Each parent or guardian will be sent  a Username, Password and link to access Family Lounge.
  • Families need to click on this link to log in.
  • A verification process will occur before you can log in.
Note: As a security measure, only the email address we have registered for each parent and guardian will be permitted access.
