Websites
Purpose-built websites for every educational establishment
School websites are vital. They often form the first impression for prospective families, they are the hub for everyday communication, and they are an important reflection of your school’s identity.
Purpose-built from the ground up, our website platform is based on what we have learned from supporting more than 2,000 schools over the past decade. It’s simple for busy school teams, flexible enough to reflect every school’s unique identity, and powerful enough to support education systems of every size.
From small schools with fewer than 25 students to large multi-campus schools and colleges, education associations and Catholic dioceses, communicate with confidence and create an engaged experience for every visitor.
Trusted by schools, dioceses, organisations, and associations across Australasia
The biggest difference between us and other web systems is that we purpose-build. Then we train. And then we continue providing unlimited training and support by our local, human, customer success team. It’s also very easy to use – like WordPress with bumper bars!

Accessible and secure
Our websites are built for everyone to access, regardless of ability. Our system adheres to accessibility, compliance, security, and best practice standards.

Flexible and easy
Each school can showcase its independence while remaining compliant with overarching branding and standards. Making changes is very simple – there’s no need to become a tech expert overnight!
Access to analytics
From the number of views on your enrolment pages, to seeing if communities are engaging with your wellbeing content, you have access to analytics that can highlight further improvements and help shape future strategies for your site. And, through SPARKS, our website, SEO and branding booster program, you can help schools perform highly across the board. SPARKS has had demonstrated success in dioceses across Australia by discovering for each school’s website measured and repeatable improvements.

Your Questions, Answered
What makes your websites different to anyone else’s?
Our websites are different to others because we purpose-build them, from years of experience working with education systems. Then we train the staff. And then we continue providing unlimited training and support by our local, human, customer success team. It’s also very easy to use – like WordPress with bumper bars! We’re not just an install and go website provider. We’re a fully supportive extension of your website team.
Can I change a design feature on the website even after the site is launched?
Yes, you can make changes to your website after your site has gone live. Our templates are built for innovation, with a flexible design that enables you to progress the newsletter as your school progresses.
Is the Schoolzine system safe?
Yes, Schoolzine is safe. We have enterprise-grade security, ST4S-approved status, and our Image Guardian tool enables non-scrapable face blurring on images.
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.
