Making the most of the Parent App

A toolkit for authors

Connecting with your school’s parent and carer community

The NSW Education Parent App has over 180,000 users across 2,200 NSW public schools. Your parent and carer community will never miss important news or upcoming events with the new Parent App.

The new app makes it easier for you to share news, updates and events with your parents and carers, and is a convenient channel for parents and carers to stay up to date and engaged with their children’s school and education.   

All users of the Parent App can instantly be notified through push notifications about news and events at your school. They can also tailor their newsfeed to stay up to date and receive content most relevant to them.  The new app also allows parents and carers to receive updates from multiple schools.

School Website Service authors can easily publish engaging content directly to the app at the same time as publishing content to the school website. SWS authors can publish calendar updates, upcoming events, the latest newsletter, and exciting school news.  

Newsletters

You can easily display your school’s newsletters on the Parent App. 

Usability

The NSW Education Parent App is integrated with the School Website Service. The app uses the same familiar authoring tools as your school website.

Bespoke content for parents

With the filtering function, parents can choose to only view content relevant to their child's year group.

Privacy

The app does not store any user’s personal or identifiable Information.
