school stream - communication app
From the start of Term 4 2016 we began using School Stream as our main method of giving you information and updates about what is happening at school. We aim to have all information about upcoming events on School Stream so that we cut down on the amount of paper that we are sending home and so that we are not bombarding you with lots of emails and reminders.
The aim of School Stream is that all current information will be available to view on the app until it is no longer relevant, when it will disappear - so no more searching for the note that you used as a shopping list, or searching for the email that you received three weeks ago! One of the best features is that you are able to sign up for the group messages that you wish to receive and you will receive a notification on your phone or mobile device telling you that there is a new message.

Some answers to your questions:
- The app works with iphones, android phones, ipads and tablets
- You can use a web browser to view information on your stand alone computer or laptop
- For emergency closures during the school day we will still phone you - we need to know that you have received the message and are on your way! The same goes for when your child is feeling ill. For school closures before school starts you will be sent a School Stream alert.
- If using the web browser you will probably only need to check for messages as often as you would check for emails (hopefully this is at least once a day!) - it's a good habit to get into as Colleges only use technology to communicate information to parents and you only get it once!
- The initial set up is the key - get this right and you will receive all information promptly and efficiently. There is a support team at School Stream - they can be reached on 04 8894144 and they are superb at solving any problems as they arise.
