CeSIS and CeFMS Update

The CEnet Member Dioceses CeSIS and CeFMS rollout is continuing with two significant milestones achieved recently. During April the total number of schools live in CeSIS grew to 601 and the number of schools promoted to Ancestry increased to 451.

Find out more about the schools from the Diocese of Lismore and the Diocese of Armidale that took the total number of schools live in Compass to 601 and promoted to Ancestry to 451 in the CEnet Blog.

This shared services rollout is significant in its scale and success, and is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the CEnet member community.

Supporting Newly Arrived Students

The CEnet ACEN Working Group was recently made aware that 'A few of our schools are starting to enrol students who have just arrived in Australia from Ukraine. These students appear to have very little English so resources in Ukrainian are needed quite urgently'.

In response to this emerging need for resources the CEnet ACEN Working Group has identified and added 74 titles to the CEnet member eBook collection. These resources are available now for staff and students in dioceses participating in the eBook consortium.
