FEATURES OF THE EXCURSIONS MANAGER

EXCURSIONS MANAGER supports schools to undertake most of the administration work for excursions.

SCHOOL OFFICE STAFF can…

• Complete an online form providing information about the excursion.

• Specify the information they require from parents (emergency contact details, medication, etc).

• Print the Invoice if a payment is required, and the authorisation form to be sent to the parent (in cases where a parent does not have access to the Internet).

• Allow teachers and other staff to complete the online forms to set up an excursion and require that the details be authorised by a nominated person before the excursion is made available via the school’s website.

PARENTS can…

• Access the excursion booking form via the school’s website and enter student details.

• Phone the school office to have the details entered for them if they do not have access to the Internet. (The school will then be able to print the Invoice — formatted for insertion into a DL window envelope — if a payment is required, and the authorisation form to be sent to the parent.)

• Make payment by a secure credit card portal, or print a Tax Invoice and pay by cheque, electronic transfer, or cash.

• Print the form required to authorise the school to take the child on the excursion, sign it and fax or return it to the school.

• Monitor progress online and print reports indicating which families have provided details, paid or returned the form.
