Welcome to Linewize Latest -

August Update


Welcome back to Term 3! We know how dynamic school environments can be, so if your team has seen some staff changes or  your Linewize Champions haven’t been updated recently, now’s the perfect time to refresh those key contacts and ensure everyone is set up for success.

This month’s Linewize update highlights new solution improvements and updates including Smart Filters in Parent Management and a refreshed Qustodio Parents App with streamlined navigation.

We also preview the upcoming Filter App for Android and ChromeOS plus new content from our cyber safety experts, including a deep dive into Roblox, a podcast on student exposure to online porn, and a key responsibilities checklist to support and strengthen your school’s cyber safety strategy.

The new app will unify Android and ChromeOS support, enabling full-device filtering on Chromebooks and Android devices - not just in the Chrome browser.

We’ve enhanced Linewize Monitor to give schools greater flexibility in configuring when it actively reports on risky student activity. This update empowers schools to align monitoring settings with their staff resourcing, policies, and processes. 

With this improvement, schools can take a more tailored approach to student safety, balancing well-being and digital engagement in a way that works best for their community.
