Frequently Asked Questions

We charge a fixed fee that depends on the number of students at your school. Prices are in US dollars.

This single subscription allows you to use the service for twelve months, with no limit on conference evenings, accounts, or users. We have no other charges.

Yes. As long as you are an employee of the school, simply sign up. Seconds later a temporary password for your new account will arrive on your mobile phone, and you can then use the service without any limitations for seven days.

Once you are happy that SchoolBookings will work for your school, simply go to the payments page and generate an invoice. Or if you decide SchoolBookings isn't right for your organisation, contact us and we'll cancel your account without any fuss.

Every school has parents who can't access the internet, but you can still accommodate them by offering phone bookings. Office staff can access all teacher's timetables directly from their desks, so bookings only take a minute or two.

Some schools take this a step further, pro-actively phoning the parents they most want to see.

School Interviews has been independantly assessed for security, privacy and online safety by Safer Technology 4 Schools (ST4S).

We have a comprehensive privacy policy based on the principle that your data is your property - not ours.

We store passwords in an unrecoverable form, so we can't tell you what your password is. However, if you contact us we'll reset it to a temporary new password, so you can log in.

Once you're in, you can then change the password again, to something memorable for you. We recommend choosing a word or phrase that means something to you, and then adding one or two numbers or symbols, like "!" or "+". So something like squash:club! makes an excellent password.

You can simply link to our home page, because parents can enter the event code there. However, we have a simpler event code page that may be easier for parents:

• https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz//code

You can make it even easier to book by including your event code in the link, but this does come with some dangers. Anyone with access to the link can make bookings for your event, so if you put this on your public website you may get spurious or nuisance bookings. For emails or emailed newsletters, however, this style of link is ideal:

• https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz//code/XXXXX (replace XXXXX with your event code)

And for printed newsletters, we provide a booking QR code as well. Simply click the "Booking link and QR code" link on the admin home page.

As long as you have a device with a reasonably modern browser, you can use SchoolBookings. Our service works well with the following browsers (mobile or desktop):

• Google Chrome - all versions
• Mozilla Firefox - all versions
• Apple Safari - all versions
• Microsoft Edge - all versions

To make SchoolBookings as user-friendly as possible, we use javascript. If your browser has javascript disabled, you will see a warning with a link to instructions explaining how to enable it.

Most missing emails turn up in spam folders, so check there first. Then check you entered your email address correctly - we've had many red faces because of this. To check, use the same computer to go back to our website, and enter the event code again. This will show you your booking summary page, where you can check your email address and resend the booking confirmation.

If neither of these is the problem, unfortunately we can't help you much further. We have no control over the ISP or company mail servers that relay your messages, so although we log your email being sent we can't guarantee delivery.
