The School Website
A website is an effective way of communicating with teachers, parents, students, the media, and the local and international community.
Your school website can also be used to:
- promote what your school has to offer (e.g. specialist programs)
- promote upcoming activities (e.g. fundraisers)
- enable teachers to access information and share resources
- support students’ web learning and experience
- support collaborative projects with other schools/organisations
- promote students’ achievements
- identify useful contacts for parents wanting specific information
- provide information on school policies (e.g. bullying, homework)
- provide a way for ex-pupils to keep in touch with their year level
- attract new teachers to your school
- provide a forum for community consultation.
- Before you have any website developed it is important to know exactly what your Internet Service Provider recommends as their standards. To find out more about your provider, see Internet Services for Schools
