Behind the scenes: something big is in development.

Last week, we hosted another Dev Summit, bringing colleagues together from around the world to share ideas, collaborate, and work through challenges in real time.

With our team spread across different countries and time zones, opportunities to step away from our individual screens and connect face-to-face are especially valuable. It's a chance to strengthen relationships, exchange perspectives, and make progress together.

A great reminder that while we may work from different corners of the world, we're all working towards the same goals!

🎃 A little Halloween fun means lot of coordination on campus.

Halloween at school can mean costume parties, campus activities, off-campus outings, and plenty of moving parts.

With Reach Events, schools can coordinate Halloween activities, manage attendance, and keep track of student participation.

Paired with Pastoral Notes, which help staff document behavioural concerns and identify patterns, these tools support a clearer picture of how students are doing, so staff can respond when a student needs extra support.

Even when the night gets spooky, knowing where and how your students are shouldn't be. 👻 Here's to a safe and happy Halloween from Team Reach!

We’ve reached 2,000 followers on LinkedIn! And every single one matters.

If 2,000 students were in our care, we’d never see them as just a number. We’d see 2,000 individuals who deserve to feel safe, supported, and cared for.

That belief is at the centre of everything we do at Reach, and it extends to the community we’re building with educators, school leaders, and student advocates around the world. 💙

We’re grateful to be connected with a community that puts student wellbeing first.

Want to be part of the conversation? Follow us on LinkedIn for more insights, ideas, and conversations about student life, school safety, and the people who make a difference every day.

What does it look like to raise well-balanced kids?

Challenge Success is hosting an interactive webinar for parents of elementary-aged children, exploring how to support healthy development through autonomy, connection, and everyday routines.

Drawing on research from Challenge Success and Stanford, the session will explore practical ways to nurture confidence, protect time for play and discovery, and ease the academic and social pressures that can creep into childhood too soon.

📅 A recording will be sent to all registrants, so you can catch up even if you can’t attend live.

🌎 World Food Day | October 16
Less food waste starts with better information. 🍽️

Every meal planned is an opportunity to reduce food waste, control costs and make better use of your school’s resources.

Reach has seen firsthand how accurate meal data can help schools reduce food waste and manage catering costs. Our Meals Module gives schools a clearer picture of expected meal numbers and dietary requirements, helping catering teams make informed decisions about food preparation and purchasing.

The result? Less unnecessary food waste, better use of resources and more control over food costs.

How can better meal planning make a difference at your school? Reach Director of Australia, Garry Jowett, explores the wider value of Reach, including how accurate meal data and forecasting can help schools cut food waste and make the most of their catering budgets.

🎙️ Tune in to hear Brian on The Table podcast

At 2 a.m., Brian Murray, Managing Director of REACH Student Life, once had to call a mother because he didn't know where her son was. The student was safe at home, but a missed handoff between staff meant critical information had fallen through the cracks.

In this episode of The Table, Brian shares what years of working in student life have taught him about the importance of reliable systems, clear communication, and building meaningful connections with students.

What does Pastoral Management have to do with mental health and wellbeing?

To mark World Mental Health Day we’ve asked Team Reach to share their favourite feature of Pastoral Management and, more importantly, how they see it supporting students in real, meaningful ways.

From spotting patterns over time to capturing small observations in the moment, our team highlighted the ways Pastoral Management helps schools see the bigger picture, respond earlier and make sure important information doesn’t get lost.

Supporting student wellbeing is about noticing the small things, connecting the dots and making sure students have the support they need.
