Keeping Parents Informed
The school's website can be used for keeping parents/carers up to date with what is happening within the school community. The school website design should provide a quick and easy reference tool for things such as fee amounts, tuckshop and uniform prices etc. Newsletters may be published on the website so that parents can access the latest news, even if their child is absent from school due to illness or a school camp.
The school website may be used to publish all the necessary forms for things such as fees, excursions, back to school information etc. This results in less congestion in the school office as parents are able to access the paperwork they need from the comfort of their own home.
Marketing Tool - Bridging the Distance
The school website is an invaluable marketing tool. Providing the website is well maintained, it should contain up to date information for prospective families with regard to enrolment procedures, fee information, year levels taught etc. Parents are then able to compare schools in order to ascertain which one would suit their child the best.
A well designed school website enables families who are living overseas or interstate, and moving to Australia, to get a glimpse of school life before they arrive. The children are able to see what their uniforms will look like, what extra-curricular activities are available and even what is on the tuckshop menu!
