Get school connected
2009-07-09
THE Boland Schoolz Unite offers educators, parents and learners the opportunity to get all their school messages and information on their cellphones. In a survey in 2007-2009 Schoolz Unite did a survey and found that over 80% of school websites could not be found for information or were in some way unusable. The most common problems were: Lack of knowledge, no innovation to marketing a school, and funding. Having valid and up-to-date information on the website can help school administrators because parents can look up information on the site, and while this is true for some parents, there are many others who will use a site if they know the information is there and is valid. But one website, again run by Schoolz Unite, contains links to all Boland School of school websites and hundreds of parents use the site each day to find out details of schools in their area. It is worth checking that your school site is shown there and that the link is working. To check, visit www.bolandschools.co.za, click on the school directory in the menu on top, and then check if your school is listed under the area with details of your school. Ideas about school, marketing and fund-raising can be inserted on the website, so parents and the community will know when your event will take place, even parent evenings can be posted. If you register on the website (www.bolandschools.co.za) you can make use of the forum to post topics, keep in touch with parents, send private SMS messages to parents and community members. The service is completely free - you can join by registering. More benefits: you can download your picture free, you can view a map to drive to an appropriate school, you can share your lessons or you can visit the education department. If there is no valid link to your school’s site, contact Winston Cupido on 083-620-3351 or email info@bolandschools.co.za.
