We are now able to engage with our families in a variety of ways through our Schoolzine eNewsletter, including photos and galleries, articles and videos. It is a platform that will continue to meet the needs of our intricate community as we continuously improve the ways in which we can communicate.
Nazareth Catholic Community, South Australia
The Story
One newsletter for an entire community
The Challenge
A large, diverse community to keep informed.
Over two years, Nazareth’s family communication moved from a PDF to a web-based newsletter, keeping more than 1,500 families and community members informed across an Early Childhood Centre, a two-campus R–12 college, and family and community services. Feedback from families highlighted the need for an easy-to-use, searchable calendar, a newsletter that worked on every device, and more room for galleries and photos. Staff needed a time-efficient content management system, with strong data integrity across a large number of families and subscribers.
The Solution
Mobile-friendly newsletters, managed from one Control Centre.
Schoolzine’s eNewsletter takes the headache out of formatting, and the custom-built Control Centre manages everything in one place. Nazareth now sends mobile-friendly, interactive newsletters bursting with relevant information about its students – a vibrant celebration of achievement that parents look forward to receiving, all through one convenient channel.
The Results
Families and subscribers now have an easy-to-view newsletter covering articles from across the whole community, and the support Schoolzine provides has been second to none.
Easy to filter
Families can filter content by year level, campus and community event, so they see what matters to them.
Time saved every week
Creating and distributing the weekly newsletter takes considerably less time, with little to no data integrity issues.
A calendar that works
Syncing, searching and filtering calendar events has significantly improved how well families are kept informed.
