Downloading September Returns to upload to the Department Portal

We’ve recently updated our top menu navigation (July/August 2024). We’re currently updating our user guides to reflect these changes, so thank you for your patience while we work on this. The new menu is user-friendly, so you shouldn’t experience significant disruption. If you need help locating specific items in the new menu however, watch our quick videos for admin users here, and for teachers here.
 

Go to Settings>September Returns to download the files you need to upload to the Department.

File B will require further work on your behalf before you download them.

File B requires editing when you click into it and will only download when there are no errors/pink cells visible (see below).
