Adding the school calendar to your phone
Never Miss a School Event: Sync the School Life Calendar to Your Phone!
With so many exciting events happening at Burwood Public School—from P&C meetings and Gelato Days to the Colour Fun Run—we know how hard it can be for busy parents to keep track of every date.
To make things easier, you can now sync the School Life Calendar directly to your personal smartphone or device. This means any updates or new events will automatically appear in your own calendar (Apple, Google, or Outlook), so you’ll always have the latest info at your fingertips.
How to add the calendar to your device
School Bytes provides an easy way to “subscribe” to the calendar using an iCal link. Here is the quick step-by-step guide to getting it set up:
- Log in to the Parent Portal: Head to the School Bytes Parent Portal.
- Navigate to the Calendar: Click on the ‘Calendar’ tab in the main menu.
- Subscribe: Look for the ‘Subscribe’ button (usually located at the top right of the calendar view).
- Copy the Link: A unique iCal URL will be generated for you. Copy this link.
- Add to Your Phone:
- iPhone/iOS: Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Add Account > Other > Add Subscribed Calendar. Paste the link there.
- Android/Google Calendar: Open Google Calendar on a web browser, click the ‘+’ next to ‘Other calendars,’ select ‘From URL,’ and paste your link.
