Working with Schoolzine has been an effortless and affordable process … It has really helped organise our whole school information and halved the amount of time to distribute important messages to parents and the community.

The Story
From scattered tools to one simple platform
The Challenge
Too many tools. Too much time.
Our Lady of the River is a small rural school, where technology is often managed by one person – in this case, the principal. The school was communicating through email, text messages, a school app, a website and social media, all from different providers. The tools were ageing, didn’t work together and took far too much time. Staff, parents and the wider community needed a faster, more efficient way to receive announcements, event details, newsletters and achievements, all in one place.
The Solution
Everything in one dashboard.
Schoolzine brought the school’s newsletter, website, calendar and SZapp parent app together in one easy-to-use dashboard. With live chat support, instant training over the phone and access to Schoolzine’s creative designers and editors, the principal no longer has to manage it all alone.
The Results
Our Lady of the River now matches the professionalism of larger, well-financed schools, with a platform it can keep growing with.
Half the time
Distributing important messages to parents and the community now takes half the time it used to.
One connected platform
The online newsletter, school app and website all integrate, connecting the school with its local and global community.
Support on demand
Excellent, instant online support walks staff through any question, at any time of the day.
