Welcome to the Parent Portal guide! This is designed to help you, as a parent, easily manage your child’s school requirements through the COS Parent Portal.<\/p>

We’ll walk you through each step, from logging in to finalising your orders for school packs, levies, and donations if applicable, ensuring a straightforward and efficient experience.<\/p>

If you’re unsure where to start, we recommend watching the ‘How-to Use Parent Portal’<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>video tutorial, which provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the portal\u2019s key features. You can also refer to the detailed guide below<\/strong><\/span> for written instructions on how to log in, navigate the dashboard, and complete your orders. These resources are designed to support you every step of the way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
