A school calendar app that keeps the note out of the bag.
Excursion forms, pupil-free days, swimming carnivals, fees due Friday. GetKnowen puts all of it on the same family board as sport and dinners, so the school week is on the kitchen tablet and every phone, not buried in the school app and your inbox.
Where the school stuff usually goes to die.
Photograph it, forward it, or say it
The crumpled excursion note at the bottom of the bag, the email from the front office, the line in the P&C newsletter. Snap it, forward it to your board’s own address or just say it out loud. It lands on Today with the date and time filled in, filed under the right school.
14 days
Of everything, free. Put one term’s dates on and see if the week gets easier.
Holidays loaded once
School and public holidays for your city show on the board all year, so you stop counting weeks on your fingers.
Visible until it is done
A form with a due date stays on the calendar until you mark it signed. Fees show until they are paid. Nothing hides in the inbox.
Two schools, one kinder, one week
Each child has their own school, colour and key dates. Everything still sits on the single family week, so Nan can see Thursday’s pickup.

Put it where everyone sees it

What it does not replace.
Your school’s own app or portal is still where official notices, attendance and payments live. GetKnowen does not connect to it. It is the place the dates and deadlines from all of it end up, next to everything else the family has on.
Asked by school parents.
What is the best school calendar app for Australian families?
The best one is the one the whole house actually opens. GetKnowen puts school dates, excursion notes, fees and forms on the same family board as sport and dinners, on the kitchen tablet and every phone, so nobody has to check a second app. It is made in Australia and priced in A$.
How do I keep track of school term dates and holidays?
Load school and public holidays for your city once and they show on the board all year. Anything the school sends after that, like a pupil-free day or a swimming carnival, goes on as an event with the date and time filled in.
Can I put the school email on the calendar?
Yes. Forward the email to your board’s own address, or photograph the paper note, or say it out loud. It lands on Today with the date and time filled in, and it is filed under the right school automatically.
Does it work with more than one school or kinder?
Yes. Each child can have their own school or kinder, with its own colour, key dates, fees and forms. Everything still shows on the one family week.
Will it remind me about fees and forms?
Fees and forms that have a date show on the calendar until you mark them paid or signed, so the permission slip stays visible instead of living in the bag. Family+ adds email reminders ahead of events.
