Bishop Tyrrell

The Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College App is developed in partnership with Digistorm Education and Alaress. It is designed to give parents, students and teachers a seamless environment with ready access to important information about events and daily activities at the School, as well as key contact details. The Bishop Tyrrell App provides an easy way to access personalised content and communication from the School’s online environment, Schoolbox.
