About this app

The Redeemer Lutheran College App is developed in partnership with Digistorm Education and Alaress. It is designed to give parents, students and teachers a seamless environment with ready access to important information about events and daily activities at the School, as well as key contact details. The Redeemer App provides an easy way to access personalised content and communication from the School’s online environment, Schoolbox.

Key features:

The Dashboard:
The dashboard provides an overview of the latest notices, unread notices, timetables for staff and students and a timeline view of the day’s events.

Messages:
The messages section provides notifications of activity within Schoolbox. As content is added to groups that you are a member of and follow, you will receive a notification that will allow you to click through to the relevant Schoolbox page. Push notifications can be configured and used.

Calendar:

The calendar can also be used as an eDiary with students having the ability to add homework tasks for completion. The calendar menu item will show how many events are in your calendar for that day.
