What schools say about School-links
“Just wanted to say thank you for such a fabulous system. As a Wellington based school we found School-links an invaluable tool last week with earthquakes, floods and many parents enquiring about school closures etc. We have had great feedback from parents about how the communications from our school were excellent last week, and that they knew exactly what was going on here.”
Megan Chisholm
Office Admin, Newlands School
“...we used your system twice yesterday [November 2016 earthquake] – each time I used the app on my phone and it was so simple and effective. I am included in the text message and received it within a minute of me pressing proceed! Then I could concentrate on other matters knowing that no children would turn up at school (hopefully – and none did). Thanks again – the system was a great success for Northland School and its community.”
Jeremy Edwards
Principal, Northland School (Wellington), Te Kura o Orangi Kaupapa
