Carbrook's website has been designed by the Websites for Schools division of the Department of Education Queensland. The purpose of the website is for our school to link to the Qschools smartphone app and have a Facebook feed to promote school events.
We encourage all parents that have a mobile phone or mobile device to download the Qschools app.
The QSchools app is a convenient way to receive up-to-the-minute information from and about schools. The app is designed to integrate with Carbrook’s Websites for Schools website and is automatically updated when our school updates the website with the latest news, newsletters, events and information.
App users can also access P&C information, class times and school social media pages that are available on the school's website. Emergency announcements, such as information about natural disasters and school closures, are published via the app.
The app is particularly useful to parents who have students in different schools, as the app manages updates from multiple schools in a single view.
Type in the search bar 'qschools' and click install this free app.
All Queensland state schools are searchable via the app, however only schools who have upgraded their school website with Websites for Schools, as Carbrook has done will benefit from all the features of the app.
Following us on Facebook
On our school website you will notice that we have a link to our Facebook page. The benefit of having a Facebook feed is to promote special events that occur in our school such as Mike Willesee’s visit to our school. This keeps the school community up to date with events that are happening in our school and is particularly beneficial for those parents that cannot get up to the school for special events etc to keep in touch will what is happening in our school.
Please like and follow our page to stay in tune with what is happening at Carbrook. Here is the link to our Facebook account.
