Mount Annan High School, New South Wales
The Story
One platform across two neighbouring schools
The Challenge
Two schools, one busy communicator.
Parent engagement can be hard, and with so many ways to communicate with families it can feel daunting – especially for a staff member working across two neighbouring schools and responsible for keeping every family informed. Using one simple platform across both schools would create an effective communication channel between the schools and their families.
The Solution
Many channels, no duplicated effort.
School teams, like parents, are busy people, so it was important to choose a provider that offered multiple channels without duplication of effort. Schoolzine fits like a glove: messages go out simultaneously across email, app, website, RSS and SMS from one control panel, and SZapp even lets admins manage notifications directly from a mobile device.
The Results
Families from feeder primary schools find the same communication methods they’re used to when they reach high school – all they have to do is subscribe to Mount Annan High School. Even better for families with children at both schools.
