Veracross is thrilled to announce its new Australian partnership, Barker College in Hornsby, New South Wales!
After what was described as a rigorous selection process looking for a SIS platform that could meet the requirements of a large and complex school, the Barker College team chose Veracross to guide their school data into the future.
“The school was very interested in the ability for Veracross to surface and connect student data across many disparate aspects of their school life. The wide range of modules that Veracross offers has the capability to cater for our teaching and learning program, as well as activities of our wider community beyond the classroom. Veracross demonstrated a quick, reliable, and highly configurable system which can adapt and suit the complex needs of our school,” shares Phillip Heath AM, Head of Barker College.
The Barker College team noted the rapid development of integrations and the comprehensive and flexible nature of the platform as key to their confidence in Veracross.
The Australian Veracross team is excited to work with Barker College closely over the coming months as they transition with a module-by-module approach to a complete Veracross SIS.
“We’re excited to welcome Barker College to the growing number of Australian schools currently coming onboard with Veracross. Our Australian-based implementations team is working closely with Barker College as they transition with a module-by-module approach to a complete Veracross SIS,” explains Brandt Memmelaar, Director of International Implementations at Veracross.
