The ClassCover Calendar acts as a centralised hub for your school's casual bookings and events. Designed specifically for school admins and Relief Teacher Administrators (RTAs), it offers a comprehensive overview of past, current, and upcoming activities – all in one place.

Why Use Your School Calendar?


Who Can See This Calendar?

  • Visible only to: School admin users and RTAs

  • Not visible to: Casuals – they have separate calendars and only receive notifications for bookings that involve them

This ensures the School Calendar remains an internal planning tool.


How to Get the Most from Your Calendar

  1. Toggle views: Switch between Month and Week views depending on your planning needs

  2. Edit or cancel on the spot: Click any booking to update class info, add notes, change absence reasons, or cancel

  3. Use or add custom fields: Include extra details like payroll info or specific instructions via Admin Settings

  4. Add External Events: Integrate non-ClassCover activities like excursions, sports carnivals, or paper-based bookings so that your ClassCover calendar is centralised

  5. Export it all: Download booking data for specific date ranges as needed for payroll or review


πŸ’‘ Pro Tips for Efficient Calendar Management

  • Use clear event titles: Label entries so your admin team instantly recognises them

  • Block out early: Schedule known events ahead of time to avoid overlap with casual shifts

  • Combine bookings and events: For a PD day, log the event and then book your casuals via ClassCover for seamless scheduling

  • Maintain consistency: Regularly clean up and annotate calendar entries for better year-round planning


Desktop & Mobile Access

  • Desktop: Full access to view, add and edit bookings and external events, as well as export calendar data

  • Mobile: View-only – see bookings and events, but editing requires desktop access
