Note: Google Calendar does not support adjusting refresh rates of imported calendars, so keep that in mind because it may not be fully up to date on scheduled lessons. 

Lastly, although this is a feature that we have, we still recommend that staff and teachers log in on their accounts instead of using Google Calendar due to the potential delay in the refresh rate as it is not 100% reliable.
