Daily notices on the wall, not in an inbox

Schools, TAFEs and training providers already write the notices. The problem is getting them in front of students who do not read email, on screens in corridors and halls that nobody has time to maintain.

On the screens

Corridor, hall, office and staff room

Daily notices

Room changes, sport, canteen, assembly and lost property, on a template anyone in the office can fill in without touching the design.

Calendar and countdowns

This week’s events straight from a calendar feed, plus a countdown to the excursion, the exam block or the end of term.

Student work and results

Photo galleries, video from the last production, house points and carnival results. A reception screen that shows the school rather than describing it.

Why it works here

No IT ticket to change a notice

The office can drive it

Give front-office staff access to the playlist and nothing else. The screens change in a minute, and the layout cannot be broken by accident.

Term time and holidays

Schedules run by day and time, so the holiday message goes up on the last day and the notices come back when term does.

Emergency messages

An alert takes over every screen at once — lockdown, evacuation, or a bus that is not coming — and clears just as fast.

One screen at reception to start

It is the screen parents see, and the easiest one to justify.
