Canvas

Canvas, our Learning Management System (LMS), is a key part of every Chev student’s educational experience. Canvas provides students with learning resources, assessment tasks notifications and feedback, a mark-book for tracking progress, discussions, their home learning calendar, and much more.

Parents can effectively support their children by becoming ‘observers’. This process has been streamlined  to make access and use easier and we would encourage every parent to use their account so they can see what home learning (home work), assessment tasks and projects students need to undertake.

To access Canvas as a parent please click the button below. Step-by-step instructions are provided, with video tutorials.
