This file is generated in Synergetic via the SES tab.
2018 file changes required by DET
DET made significant changes to the contents of this file, centred around provision of additional information including the names and residential addresses of parents and/or guardians.
Solution Implementation by Synergetic
These changes have been implemented by Synergetic and due to short notice on them from DET to the sector, Synergetic released these changes in Patcher form. To have these changes available school System Admins will have needed to have run these patchers, and copied a required file into the Synergetic folder. If you are unsure if this has happened - check with your Sys Admin.
