Is this actually free?
Yes. The newsletter snapshot, top key dates, general school updates, WhatsApp sharing, and multi-school support stay on Free. No credit card required. Premium is best value at $35/year - less than $3/month, and adds Need to Know action lists, Year-level News, fuller date lists, one-tap calendar add, Smart Calendar auto-sync, Tomorrow Reminders, dinner table questions, keyword alerts, multilingual digests, and category options.
How do you get the newsletter?
We monitor your school's newsletter automatically. You never need to forward anything. When a new edition is published, our purpose-built reading engine detects it and sends your personalised digest with the dates, forms, things to know, and updates that matter.
Is this affiliated with my school?
No. School Scoop is an independent service built by parents. We are not endorsed by, sponsored by, or formally connected to any school. We simply read publicly available newsletters and summarise them for families.
What if I can't find my school?
Search for any Australian school by name. We scan thousands of schools and automatically detect their newsletter. If yours isn't set up yet, we'll find and add it when you search. No links or manual steps needed.
What about the calendar?
Every digest includes key dates pulled from the newsletter in a clear list. Free users can save dates manually. Premium adds one-tap calendar add, Smart Calendar auto-sync, Tomorrow Reminders, and Calendar and Tomorrow Reminders options.
Will summaries get things wrong?
Occasionally, yes. Automated summarisation is useful but not perfect. Every digest includes a direct link to the full original newsletter so you can always check. We also run quality checks on every summary before it goes out.
Can my family members see this too?
Yes. Forward the digest to anyone, or share key points in your class WhatsApp group. Family members who want their own personalised digest can sign up with their own email.
