Communication changes

As part of our ongoing communication improvements, we’re excited to let you know that our new West Gore School app is now live.
What’s changing now
We’ve replaced our old app with a new, user-friendly version designed to make it quicker and easier for you to receive time-sensitive updates from the school.
Through the new app, you’ll be able to:

• Join alert groups for your child’s class, sports groups, or other activities – so you only get the updates that matter to you.
• Receive instant notifications about things like cancellations, reminders, and urgent messages.
• Send notifications of absences. 
• Access other important school information directly through the app.

Why the change?
This change is in response to feedback from our school community that the previous app wasn’t as intuitive as it could be. The new app is part of our broader plan to make school communication clearer, faster, and more targeted.
What you need to do

• Follow the instructions that were sent home via your child and / or email. 
• If you have questions or need help, Anneke will be available in the office from 2.30pm on Friday 10th October 2025.

IMPORTANT: This new App will be the only working app from Monday 13th of October so please delete your previous app. 
What’s coming next
In Term 4, we’ll be launching our new Parent Dashboard on our website. This is the final phase of our communication improvements, providing a central directory for all school information, reducing the need for emails and hard-copy notices/booklets.
Thank you for your continued support as we roll out these updates to better connect with our families.
