Free for Australian school families
Help each other with pick-ups, rosters and the week ahead. And when something isn’t right, raise it with the school together, in your own name, with every date on the record.
Children don’t always tell, and each parent hears only a piece. Nobody wants to be “that parent”, or to make things harder for their child.
In your class’s room, one parent asks and the others can tap “Me too”. One worry becomes a pattern, and a pattern is hard to wave away.
Hannah K. Discussion
Has anyone else’s child stopped wanting to go out at lunch?
Mia says some bigger kids keep pushing the little ones off the oval and calling them names. No teacher is down that end.

Next, Hannah can turn it into a request to the school.
When enough of you have noticed, the parent who asked turns it into a request. Each parent chooses to be counted, or named as well.
It goes from your own email. The school replies through a link, no account needed, and the answer comes back to the room, dated.

Thank you for raising this together. From Tuesday 8 September a teacher will be on the oval at recess and lunch. If a child reports bullying, we’ll reply within two school days.

Names, dates and the reply are made up.
Every state, and every kind of school, has its own path past the principal. Assembly lays it out: who comes next, and how long they say they’ll take.
It flags the windows that close on you, like Victoria’s 30 days to ask for a review.
The school You are here
Two weeks on, no reply to the class’s request about bullying. A short follow-up is a fair next step.
No period published No fixed time for the school itself.
Department regional office
Reviews it if it isn’t resolved at the school.
Their time to respond 30 school days, a target
Central Office Review
If you think the region’s outcome got department policy wrong.
Your time to act Ask within 30 days of the region’s outcome
Victorian Ombudsman
Looks at how the department handled it, after its own process.
Their time to respond Most standard investigations within 12 months
Victoria’s published policy for government schools, checked July 2026. Your path depends on your state and your school.
You can’t stand beside strangers. The parents who cover your late pick-up are the ones who’ll back you when it matters.
So the room is for everyday things too. Ask for a hand, share a roster, and get a Sunday note about the week ahead.

Could someone grab Mia from the gate at 3:15?

The rooms are kept civil for the children’s sake. Being upset is allowed; only the insults get left out.
An AI moderator reads each new post against the community rules before the room sees it. When words run hot, you get a calmer version to post with one tap, or you can ask a person to look. What the AI sees
You Just now Discussion
What you wrote: The office staff are clowns. Nobody ever answers the phone.
Not posted as written. We keep the rooms civil and useful, for the children’s sake.
The AI moderator’s calmer version
The office has been hard to reach by phone this term. Could we ask how families should get in touch?
Your village is already at the gate. Find your class and say hello on an ordinary day. If something is already worrying you, start a private record. Only you can see it.
