Modules represent a major milestone in modernising BGS’s student information systems.
Atturra has successfully launched the first of four modules of the Scholarion Student Information System (SIS) at Brisbane Grammar School (BGS).
These modules – People and Profiles, Student Location and Activity Tracking, Communications Management and Resource Management represent a major milestone in modernising BGS’s student information systems.
Scholarion, built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, replaces a legacy system and 42 bespoke applications with a unified, AI-powered, cloud-hosted platform. This innovative solution streamlines school operations and enhances learning and service delivery.
The initial modules provide key functionalities:
- People and Profiles: Serves as the foundation of the SIS solution, providing essential features such as a robust database for managing people and their relationships, comprehensive support for registrations, legal arrangements, medical needs, health records, counselling, efficient attendance management, enrolment capabilities and school staffing functions.
- Student Location and Activity Tracking: Efficiently manages academic schedules, tracks attendance and coordinates in-class events. Seamlessly integrates EDVAL updates for teacher availability and class timetables while efficiently handling room changes and resource allocations.
- Communications Management: Effectively connects with individuals or groups through targeted email, SMS, push notifications and social media posts. Maintains a comprehensive history of communications across all stakeholders, including students, parents, staff, and external partners, while enabling efficient bulk or group-based messaging for seamless engagement.
- Resource Management: Optimises resource allocation with a comprehensive view of availability and usage. Manages physical spaces like rooms, labs, bookable areas, teaching tools, sports equipment and transport, ensuring efficient utilisation for all activities and events.
Alexis Hill, Brisbane Grammar School’s CIO, said: “This is a proud moment for BGS. Reaching this rollout stage has been a collaborative triumph, laying the groundwork for a smarter, more connected school. We’re thrilled with what has been achieved so far and look forward to the exciting possibilities as we move to the next phases of this transformative project.”
Stephen Kowal, CEO, Atturra, said: “The partnership between Atturra and Brisbane Grammar School is an excellent example of how innovation can modernise education. Seeing Scholarian come to life and deliver real value to the school community is incredibly rewarding. We are eager to continue supporting BGS as it implements the remaining modules and reaps the full benefits of this cutting-edge solution.”
Brett Auton, Atturra’s Industry Lead for K-12 Education, said: “The successful go-live of these modules is a testament to the strong partnership between Atturra and BGS. Each milestone reached brings us closer to delivering a world-class, fully integrated solution. We’re eager to continue building on this momentum as we implement the remaining modules throughout 2025.”
Scholarion’s full rollout in 2025 will eventually encompass 12 modules covering all aspects of school operations. Designed to simplify learning and teaching, co-curricular management, reporting and incident tracking processes, the platform creates a consistent user experience and a centralised source of accurate data for students, staff and parents.
