Connect Learning Management System

Learning through Connect  

St Mary’s College has successfully implemented Connect, the Catholic Education Tasmania (CET) system-wide Learning Management System (LMS). The platform, provides a central hub for families, teachers, staff and students to connect, communicate and collaborate on teaching, learning and cocurricular activities.

Connect aims to build connection and enhance continuity between Tasmanian Catholic schools and colleges. It ensures all students, families and teachers have access to one LMS that supports both pastoral and academic learning.

The project uses the platform School Box and is being trialled with St Mary’s College and Guilford Young College before being rolled out to other CET schools.

All families received a welcome email from CET with a link to access Connect. The Password Reset document will assist parents and carers if a password reset is necessary to obtain access.
