View of Sydney Harbour from Shore School – By Sean Richards – 19th September 2014
Last Friday 19th September marked the date for the 2014 annual Schoolbox user meetup held at Shore School in Sydney. It was an incredible day and the feedback we have received to date was very positive and indicated that people took away a lot of value from the day. Thank you so much to everyone who attended!
Missed out? – Meetup Videos on the way
For those that missed out, we successfully captured the entire day on video and will be working as quickly as possible to make the videos available for you to catch up.

New Help Centre and User Community
Matthew Sambell also launched our Help Centre. This new user community driven centre enables you and your teachers to ask questions, provide answers, share ideas and suggest features with other users and our team. If you haven’t already visited this, go check it out now!
