Improving co-curricular communication

At a recent meeting of those in charge of several of our winter sports, we agreed on some basic recommendations for improving communication for all stakeholders within the various sports. Basically, there are two main ways that information will be communicated regarding each sport:

• The School’s learning management system, Frog; and
• Team App, an application that can be downloaded onto your mobile phone.

As Frog is being rolled out, you will notice that any information that is regarded as ‘static’ will be communicated via the various Frog pages for each sport. This would include things such as weekly draws, team lists, sporting guidelines or protocols and other general information that doesn’t change on a regular basis. Photographs, team and match reports will also be posted here.

For information that needs to be communicated quickly, such as changes to game times, draws or venues, arrival times for team busses, then Team App will be used. Team App is especially useful for ‘push notifications’, so that recipients can be kept abreast of any last-minute changes to team or sporting activities.

Cadets and Performing Arts are using Frog as the main method of conveying information and if you haven’t already visited these pages, then I would highly recommend them.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions regarding these two methods of communication.
