Every School Event Deserves to Be Organized, Accessible, and Well-Communicated

From sports days and parent meetings to concerts, open days, and school camps — school events are where memories are made and communities come together.

But behind every event is a team of exhausted teachers and administrators battling a flood of:

  • Paper invitations, RSVPs, and consent forms

  • Last-minute changes that parents never receive in time

  • Printing handouts for parents who might not even attend

  • Confusion about schedules, transport, or what to bring

  • Missed updates and duplicate communication threads

Even the most organized school ends up losing time, money, and momentum trying to manage events through a mix of WhatsApp, emails, and paper notices.

It’s time to make this easier — for teachers, parents, and learners alike.

Introducing the Schoolwall Events Portal

The Schoolwall Events Portal is a digital space where every school event — big or small — can have its own mini event website.

Think of it as an online hub for your event, where everything related to it is neatly organized, shareable, and interactive.

No coding. No web designers. No endless printing.
Just an easy way to plan, communicate, and manage your school events — all in one place.

What the Events Portal Lets You Do

Create Event Pages Instantly

Set up a unique event portal for anything — parent meetings, awards nights, open days, fundraisers, team outings, SGB meetings, or staff functions.
Each portal becomes a mini-website containing all your event details, including:

  • Purpose and description

  • Date, time, and venue

  • Agenda or program

  • Photos, posters, and downloadable files

  • Guest lists or ticketing links

Organize Extracurricular Groups and Teams

Every sports team, cultural club, or extracurricular group — from choir to chess — can have its own dedicated event page.
Coaches and coordinators can:

  • Share schedules, team lists, and news

  • Upload media and results

  • Communicate securely with parents and participants (in a controlled, moderated space)

This means even external coaches can stay connected to parents — safely and transparently — under school supervision.

Manage Invitations and RSVPs

Send digital invites directly to parents, staff, and guests.
Track who’s attending in real time — without handling paper slips or chasing replies.

Share Event Feedback and Media

After the event, upload photos, videos, and summaries.
Parents who couldn’t attend can view everything online — bridging the gap between the school and its community.

Conduct Roll Calls and Attendance Logs

For tours, camps, and excursions, teachers can take attendance digitally, even multiple times during the day.
The system automatically creates a timestamped log, improving safety and accountability.

Enable Parent Subscriptions & Notifications

Parents can subscribe to specific events and automatically receive updates and follow-ups — ensuring no one misses important information.
(Notification integration coming soon.)

Solving the Real Challenges Schools Face

High Printing Costs — Thousands of rands wasted every term on event programs, consent forms, and circulars.
Missed Communication — WhatsApp groups are flooded with messages, and parents scroll endlessly trying to find key information.
Time Pressure — Teachers spend hours chasing RSVPs and managing logistics manually.
Accessibility Gaps — Parents who can’t attend events in person miss valuable updates and memories.

The Schoolwall Events Portal bridges all these gaps — bringing efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity to every event your school hosts.

Example: How a School Uses the Events Portal

Let’s imagine your school is planning a Grade 7 farewell evening.

Instead of sending printed invitations, the event organizer creates a Schoolwall Event Portal:

  • Posts event details, dress code, and schedule.

  • Shares the RSVP link and ticket payment option.

  • Adds a digital seating chart and menu.

  • Uploads a photo gallery after the event.

Parents who couldn’t attend can still experience the evening through uploaded highlights.
Meanwhile, the staff can download an attendance log and record post-event feedback — all without a single sheet of paper.

Powerful Benefits for Schools

  • Centralized Event Management — Everything you need for any school event in one place.
  • Reduced Printing Costs — Save on paper programs, consent forms, and circulars.
  • Better Parent Engagement — Keep parents informed before, during, and after events.
  • Improved Safety — Real-time roll call and attendance tracking.
  • Accessible Anywhere — Works on desktop, mobile, or tablet — anytime, anywhere.
  • Supports Every Type of School Event — From a class outing to a full-scale concert.
  • Data-Driven Insights — Attendance records, participation logs, and engagement tracking.
