50 Things To Post On Your School Facebook Page

Facebook is a great way to engage and communicate with your school’s audience and can be a fantastic partner to your school website.

An incredible 2 billion users log on every single day with an amazing 147,000 images uploaded and 57,000 links shared every second! (source).

To stand out on Facebook and keep your parents engaging with your Facebook page can be a little intimidating at first.

The key to a successful school Facebook page is to create a variety of content that showcases your school and keeps parents up to date on recent events.

In order to help we have created a list of 50 things you could add to your school Facebook page.

Photos

School photography does not just need to be pro shots. Sometimes the best shots are the ad hoc ones.

2. Child of the day
3. Updated pictures of your classes
