Helping parents and guardians
Feel part of the school community
The Schoolzine communications platform helps schools and dioceses keep parents and guardians informed, updated, and clear of any updates or actions they should know.
Schoolzine also considers you, as those parents/guardians, the people who have entrusted the school with their child. We want to ensure you stay informed the right way, that you feel connected, and that you can fully engage with your child’s school experience.
Why families and caregivers love Schoolzine
Inclusivity
Schoolzine is a place where everyone can stay involved in school life; where we ensure all parents and guardians receive and understand the school’s messages, regardless of abilities. Newsletters can be translated into 87 different languages via EduTranslate. Our multilingual content meets the Australian Accessibility Standards – WCAG 2. Every parent/guardian, and every community, is considered in our comms.
Protection
We’ve built a system that adheres to compliance, security, accessibility, and best practice standards across your website and communications, including the protection of child identification and consent to publish protocols. Faces can be blurred, and parents/guardians can opt for that child to remain offline.
Quick, easy-to-access updates
There’s no mucking around with newsletter PDFs. There’s clear message banners on the school website. There’s a texting tool for instant notifications. Schoolzine ensures the message is delivered.
Kept in the know
From events to school announcements, everything can be found in one place, right at your fingertips.
Celebrating achievements
Be involved in the student and school celebrations being showcased in the school newsletters, and feel a part of the special moment.
Conversations for connection
Parents and guardians engaged in school life can help drive better learning outcomes for their child/children. Schoolzine helps provide talking points for the dinner table, so you can feel fully connected to your child, and their education.
Support for schools includes support for you
Stay connected with SZapp
SZapp is a parent/guardian mobile app through which you can receive urgent messages, important notifications, reminders, and more, from your child’s school. If your school doesn’t use such an app, perhaps they could consider SZapp, to keep the community connected.

FAQ
When it comes to Schoolzine, what’s in it for us?
For parents and guardians of the school students, Schoolzine doesn’t just keep you informed regularly and reliably; it brings you in to feel part of the school community. You will be informed, updated, and clear of any updates or actions you should know about, enabling you to fully engage with your child’s school experience.
How do I know my child is safe and protected on the Schoolzine system?
Schoolzine is safe for everyone. 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.
