CDL News App

First download CDL News App to your device.

You can find it in the App Store for iOS and in Google Play for Android.

Step 1: Click on REGISTER

To register, all you need to do is click on the REGISTER button on this first screen.

Step 2: Authenticate

You will need to authenticate with either the mobile or email contact details we hold for you on the school system.

We recommend registering using your mobile number rather than email as this means you do not have to leave the app in order to get your security code. Though you can also register using your email address, this will mean you’ll need to leave the app in order to retrieve your 6-digit code. Select which method of authentication you wish to use and click NEXT.

Step 3: Enter your data

Now enter your mobile phone number and click NEXT again.

Step 4: Enter the 6-digit code

As long as the mobile number or email address you have entered matches the one we have on the school system you will now receive an email (you may need to check your Junk Folder if this does appear straight away in your Inbox) or text message with a 6-digit code. Enter this code into the app and click NEXT.

Congratulations!

Your device is now registered, click OK and you’ll be taken to the home screen.

On the left, you can see the navigation bar, which shows you all the features the app offers. You can access this by clicking on the 3 lines next to "Home" on your home screen.

Here below, you will find details of each of the features.

News feed

Notices, updates, blogs, and other useful information are curated in one place in a format that is simple and looks great on your mobile device.

Notifications

Push notifications reach you as quickly as a text. You will only receive information that is relevant to you and to the ages of your children.

You can easily navigate through your UNREAD, FAVOURITES and REMOVED folders. 

By swiping left you can tap the little heart and add a notification to your favourites.

Once you have added it, you will find it easily under your favourites folder.

If you swipe left on a notification you can also choose to share it by tapping on the curved arrow. This will allow you to send it to any of your contacts.

You also have the option to remove this notification. It will then appear in your 'REMOVED' folder. 

If you wish to retrieve any notification you may have removed, then you need to tap the three dots at the bottom right of your screen and then press 'Retrieve all items'. 

Calendar

Our calendar is easily accessible and automatically updated. You can also quickly add events to the personal calendar on your phone or tablet in just one step.

The calendar is colour coded, each colour highlights which section the event is for. 

Information

Here we share all additional information that include our COVID-19 measures, our social media platforms, our term dates, the different platforms we provide for our students, our alumni platform and our app user guide. 

Forms

The forms provided under this section are for you to inform the school about any change of contact information, as well as for you to provide feedback about the app. 

Contacts

You can find every CDL email or phone number you may need in your contacts list, as well as the school's address, phone number, email, website and map.

Of note, the information remains at school-level at this stage.
