Our Story

School Bytes was first launched in 2015 by Blake Garrett, whilst he was in Year 12 at Chatswood High School.

The software was developed for schools, with schools, as the School Bytes journey began through direct collaboration with the administrative and executive staff at Chatswood High School.

The initial focus of School Bytes was to streamline the process of sending statements of account and permission notes to parents – which was a labour intensive process involving large amounts of printing, folding and postage. On our platform, staff can send digital statements and permission notes in a matter of minutes.

From its humble beginnings of only two staff and two schools in 2016, School Bytes has continued to grow exponentially and is currently being used in over 1500 public schools across NSW.

We have a dedicated and enthusiastic team that is committed to supporting our schools with a user-friendly digital cloud platform that has been designed with their specific needs in mind and that ultimately reduces the overall administrative burden for both non-teaching and teaching staff.
