SZapp
Does your school have a parent mobile app?
If it does, it’s likely available via your student management system, and unless you’re actively seeking change, you probably won’t require our SZapp product.
If it doesn’t, then SZapp could be just the thing you need to offer 2-way instant messaging to parents/guardians in a safe and effective way.
Of course, we understand you already have a lot of communications channels. We don’t want to add to the noise. But, if after browsing this page you’re interested, then we’d be very happy to demonstrate how it works, and how simple it is for parents and guardians to use.
And if you get it, but stop using it, then we can discuss the option to remove it. We believe in honesty and transparency. We’re not about the money. We’re about helping you communicate well.
The features liked by parents/guardians
SZapp gives parents and guardians the opportunity for 2-way communication with the school – a place where they can receive instant and urgent notifications, but where they can also send their own notifications to the school at the touch of a button.
Another channel
SZapp provides another bridge to parents and guardians. A late bus, a closed school due to weather – instant notifications can be very easily sent to all families, or to tailored recipients where it doesn’t concern all.
Emergency notifications
You hear a message, you check your phone. Using SZapp helps to ensure emergency notifications (illnesses, weather threats) are read by the majority of parents/guardians.
Parent messages made easy
You can have tiles in SZapp that link to your forms (such as an absentee form), so all parents need to do is click, complete and submit.
Quick link to newsletters
Parents can access the latest newsletter from a SZapp tile, giving them another reminder to check for updates and celebrate the latest school and student achievements.

What makes Schoolzine different to other education communication platforms?
Schoolzine’s difference is our team. We are all human (no bots). We live locally, across Australia and NZ. And we live and breathe education communication systems – and that’s all we do. Our focus is 100% on maintaining and improving a system that simply works, and works simply. We understand dioceses, large schools, small schools, multi-campus schools, and we understand your specific needs and nuances. We’ve built the Schoolzine system and implemented updates purely based on diocese and school feedback, to ensure it really does address your needs, even when things change. We also offer unlimited training and support. And you will always get a quick response, and a human answering the phone.
How much does Schoolzine cost?
The cost of Schoolzine depends on which tools you choose to use. We’re about one third of the price of some comparable tools on the market, and could work out less expensive than the cost of using manual tools such as phones and spreadsheets. For small schools, you can use the same platform big schools use, scaled for your budget.
Can I trial Schoolzine to see if it’s right for us?
Yes, we offer a free demonstration of the system so you can see how it works and understand the benefits it can bring. Book a demo here.
