A school day with dassie.

Follow Thandi (Grade 3) from the gate at 07:30, through home time, to music practice at 16:00. Keep scrolling and the clock keeps ticking.

07:30Arrival

Thandi arrives. Her watch says hi.

Every watch is provisioned by the school and linked to one learner. On the grounds it joins the school Wi-Fi, because the school allows it. On the way in, it used its built-in eSIM.

08:00Watch rules

Lesson time. Distractions off.

The school’s rule for classrooms kicks in: voice notes, collectables and payments switch off until 13:30. SOS and GPS stay on, always.

10:30Live map

Break on the field. Every child on the map.

On the School Portal’s live map, each learner on the grounds has a status ring: online, offline or no signal, or needs attention.

11:00Tuckshop

Tuckshop. Scan to pay, no cash.

Thandi’s watch shows a QR code and the cashier scans it. Her parents’ daily limit and blocked items are checked automatically.

12:15SOS

A scraped knee on the field. One press of SOS.

Thandi presses the SOS button on her watch. It lands in the School Portal straight away, and the team works it through: acknowledge, respond, resolve.

13:00Broadcast

Grade 3, and their parents. One message each.

The principal sends a “well done” to Grade 3’s watches, and a note to their parents, which arrives in the parent app. Broadcasts can go to one child or their family, a grade or the whole school, now or scheduled.

Grade 3 watches: “Well done!”

Home time. Off the school map.

The moment Thandi walks out of the gate, she drops off the school’s map. Her family still sees her on theirs, on the way home and on the home Wi-Fi. No tracking outside school.

16:00Reminder

Music practice. Right on time.

The reminder her parents added to the family calendar pops up on her watch at 16:00, next to today’s chores. This is family time: the school isn’t part of it.

That’s a school day with dassie.

Calm classrooms, every child accounted for on the grounds, parents kept in the loop, privacy that switches on at the gate, and a little help at home.
