Create app icons on your phone
It is really easy to bookmark pages on our website and turn them into quick access apps on your phone.
Our school website does not have a dedicated mobile app however you can create shortcuts to your home screen for pages you use regularly, which act just like an app now that our site is fully mobile responsive.
Creating a bookmark on your home screen lets you use it as a one-tap portal to access specific content, instead of having to open a browser and search for pages.
When you tap a website bookmark on your home screen, it opens directly to the specific page. You can then create a folder dedicated to school with a number of pages for easy access.
Detailed below are instructions for both iPhone or Android devices. The most common website pages are featured on the home page as quick links already.
- Report an absence
- School lunches
- Kindo
- Calendar
- Newsletters
