Keeping up with the digital age - Social Media Connects

One thing that social media is good at is connecting us and building relationships. For schools, social media connects students, parents, teachers, and the school itself. It does this by sharing recent activities that the children and teachers have been participating in. Social media can also help spread school news or certain occasions, such as parent events or sports day. This is really helping children connect with their parents more too, creating conversations between them about work that has been posted by the school. We have had a social presence on facebook for over two years and have recently added Twitter and Instagram to reach all demographics.
