Queensland school communities can interact with their favourite state schools using the QSchools smartphone app. The QSchools app is a convenient way to receive up-to-the-minute information from and about schools. While all Queensland state schools are searchable using the app, the full app features are designed to integrate with the department’s preferred school website platform, to allow users to see when news, events and newsletters are posted to their selected school website. Users can also see other useful information provided by the school, such as tuckshop menus, uniform shop information, class times and the school’s and the department’s social media feeds. The school community can also receive emergency announcements such as natural disasters and school closures through the app. The QSchools app is particularly useful to parents who have students in different schools, as the app manages updates from multiple schools.
