What residents open it for
At a residential college in Perth, 648 residents open the app about 25,000 times a month, measured in November 2025. Here is the rest of the week, the way colleges describe it now, and where each thing lives instead.
These screens show an example college. The figures above, from a residential college in Perth, are the only measured ones.
The formal, and who's actually coming.
Post it once, with the time, the place and the dress code. Residents answer going, maybe or can't; the cap holds the seats; the reminder goes out under your college's name on the day.

House chats and floors, each with the right door.
Every house, floor, club and team gets its own community at one of three privacy tiers: public, all-college, or secret and invite-only. RAs see their floors, and the room belongs to the college.

The chat leaves with the cohort. The app is already there for the next.
RAs rotate, house coordinators change, the committee hands over. Communities, pinned guides and the how-to stay where they are, so new residents arrive to a place that already knows how the college runs.
“we want our new students to believe it already is”

Thirty-eight is each resident's monthly average at the Perth college. The College Platform sits on top of what you already run: nothing to rip out, nothing to migrate.
Try it in your colours.
Your college is the brand on every screen and every push. Pick a pair of college colours: the crest, the RSVP and the button change with it, here and at the top of the page.
See it working, then see it as yours.
A walkthrough of the live app and a conversation about how your college runs: your houses, your RA model, your channels today. Then we can build you a preview in your college's colours and crest. Two months from sign-off to residents on the app.
