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.

Consumer & Community
We've introduced a fresh new look with easier navigation in the Qustodio Parents App! Key updates include a smarter “My Family” screen with real-time alerts and device actions, simple profile switching, and an always-visible navigation bar for quicker access to key features. Smart shortcuts now make managing devices and digital wellbeing even faster - while all existing rules and protections remain the same.
Consumer & Community
Our new Filter App for Android and ChromeOS is coming soon.
The new app will unify Android and ChromeOS support, enabling full-device filtering on Chromebooks and Android devices - not just in the Chrome browser. It will apply your existing Linewize Filter policies across your school's managed devices, ensuring consistent, real-time protection wherever students learn.
Pulse Check-in
The enhanced export function in Pulse now makes it even easier to access and analyse your school’s wellbeing data outside the Pulse Dashboard.
Monitor
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.
