A Revolutionary Calendar-Based School App

The myWhānau School Calendar Assistant is a secure school app that captures and diarises school communications. Parents are better informed and organised, reducing the admin load for schools.

Busy parents are struggling to stay on top of school communications. Important information is missed.

Whether an excursion permission slip hasn’t been returned, payment for camp is outstanding, or parent-teacher interviews are forgotten, it creates stress for parents and extra work for teachers and the school office.

With the myWhānau School Calendar Assistant, parents no longer need to stay across multiple communication channels and manually add school parent tasks and events to their phone’s calendar. And schools have confidence that parents won’t miss things, with information captured seamlessly. Families are able to see exactly what they or their child needs to do on any given day or week with a single tap.

Organised, informed parents means less work for schools

The myWhānau School Calendar Assistant is the only school app that aggregates information from school group emails, newsletters, websites, and portals and creates personalised calendar entries that include all the details parents need to be organised.
