Brisbane Grammar School taps Atturra for Dynamics 365 solution

Atturra has developed and delivered the first module of a new student information system (SIS) for Brisbane Grammar School, designed to streamline administrative processes.

The module, named 'People and Profile,' is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and serves as the foundation of the SIS solution.

The module provides a database for managing people and their relationships as well as support for registrations, legal arrangements, medical needs, health records, counselling, wellbeing and support plans, attendance management, enrollment and school functions.

“We are delighted that Atturra is on track with its delivery of our SIS, as it is a key anchor for our growth and digital innovation,” said Alexis Hill, CIO at Brisbane Grammar School.

“Atturra is a valuable partner and it’s great to see them meeting our set delivery timeframes for services and solutions that will underpin our SIS and digital ways of working for many years to come.”

Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform applications, the SIS will replace the school's on-premise system that houses 42 bespoke applications.

It will provide integration capabilities via APIs and message queues as well as native integration with low and no-code platforms.

Atturra said the platform will support personalised learning, school reports, excursions, communications, resource and incident management and financial billing and reporting.

“We are witnessing our vision come to life and are excited to implement contemporary practices in attracting, developing, and retaining the best individuals, strengthening ties with stakeholders, and enhancing the educational and user experience for students and staff," said Anthony Micallef, headmaster at Brisbane Grammar School.

"The project is inspiring the community to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the digital age, and we thank Atturra for their support and collaboration during this journey.” 

Atturra said the SIS can also be used by other educational institutions, which can adopt the solution in a modular manner.

For example, a school that may only require an attendance and rostering module can then purchase a license at its earliest convenience and unlock further features when required.

“Our relationship with Brisbane Grammar School is a strategic partnership. We look forward to continuing to deliver value by developing additional modules for the SIS with the performance and scalability required for the school’s ongoing growth, and supporting other educational institutions as they undertake their ongoing digitisation,” said Brett Auton, industry lead for K-12 education at Atturra.
