Communication with Parents
Woodside Primary School uses Classdojo to communicate with our parents.
This is an app that can be downloaded onto your phone, iPad or home computer. Parents can message teachers and the office easily. The school also uses the app to remind parents of important dates and upcoming activities happening at the school.
Woodside Primary School uses a video format on youtube to communicate fortnightly newsletters to parents.
The students are heavily involved in the production of the newsletters and are always very proud of the results.
Become Involved
Woodside Primary School has a very strong and active Parents & Friends Club that do an amazing job helping out the school and fundraising during the year.
