SkoolBag App.

A message from the Skoolbag App provider:

We understand the importance of making sure that you’re always kept informed about what’s happening at your child’s school. We’ve been significantly improving our technology behind the scenes, and you’ll notice a number of visible improvements to the SkoolBag app over the coming months.

We encourage you to keep your SkoolBag app updated to the latest version in the Apple or Google app stores to take advantage of these updates. We’ll remind you within the app when there’s a new version available.

Resolved: periodic logout issue

As part of the upgrades, we made a change to our security policy which reduced the amount of time your user account remained signed in to the app, resulting in you having to re-log in more often than before. After considering the feedback received, we understand this may be a frustrating experience. We’ve critically reviewed this security policy and have tweaked it to better balance the concern of your data protection against the necessity to quickly and easily access information about your child and your school.

Please note: You may still be required to log in one more time to activate the new update. Please contact us here if you have ANY login issues, our support team is ready to help you. We sincerely apologise if your experience has been frustrating and we hope this small change makes a big difference for you.

We welcome your feedback and are continually looking for ways to improve your experience with us and delight you every time you use our app.

Sincerely,

Dan Taylor

Product Manager at SkoolBag

Bread Bag Recycling 

This program has been extended to the end of the first week, next term so save your bread bags during the holidays and deposit them in the box in the front foyer by Friday 16 July.

St John's school is participating in the Wonder Recycling Rewards – a fun and easy program for Aussie schools to recycle all plastic bread bags that might otherwise go to landfill. We will earn reward points to redeem on new sports equipment for our efforts. The bread bags will be used to create wonderful things like school furniture and play equipment! 

For every 5kg bin filled, our school will earn credits redeemable for exciting new sports equipment.

Please start collecting your bread bags and drop them in the box in the school foyer.
