What our schools are saying
Montmorency Primary School, VIC
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
We have been using ClassCover since 2018 and it has streamlined the way that we hire casual relief teaching staff. The program is fast and is user friendly for both employers and employees. Getting a quick response from available teachers saves time when filling positions and being able to select from local teachers known to the school has benefitted the students as these teachers are known by our students and they know how our school operates.
Forestville Public School, NSW
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
ClassCover has been invaluable for us teachers and ultimately our students’ learning. Over the past two years there have been an unusually high number of teacher absences (often last minute) that we have successfully been able to fill as a result of your service. I cannot imagine individual teachers or school representatives having to organise such a number of replacements any other way. Thanks heaps!
Edwardstown Primary School, SA
★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
We first started using ClassCover in 2016 to reduce the workload involved in finding and booking suitable relief teachers. Years later we’ve experienced many benefits, including time-savings for teachers and leadership when booking relief teachers, as well as the ability to plan for long service leave and other known absences. ClassCover empowers our teachers to book their own replacement while also leaving a digital record of all bookings that we can crosscheck to help with budgeting and filing leave paperwork.
