Clipboard is the ultimate tool for managing Co-Curricular Activities and Clubs, which means you can leave the admin to us and turn your attention to helping your students thrive.
Clipboard saves Co-Curricular departments an average of 25 hours per week, increases child safety, and improves communications with your staff, students and parents. Streamline activity selection and payments, attendance reporting, communication with students and parents, and much more, all in one intuitive and mobile-friendly platform.
Bring your activities to life with Clipboard Activity Selection, allowing students and parents to browse a beautiful online store full of your custom-branded Activities and Clubs. With payment processing, refund capabilities, waitlists, eligibility calculation, and the ability to quickly place students into Teams & Groups, this module saves days of staff administrative time each term and significantly improves the parent experience.
Staff can easily mark attendance where ever they are and on any device and are sent alerts to mark the roll so you can be confident that students are accounted for at all times. If a student is marked absent, parents can be automatically emailed to alert them to their child missing a session.
Clipboard's Attendance page helps to uphold high duty of care standards by providing reporting on attendance and participation across all sports.
Staff, parents & students use Clipboard or one of our partner integrations to view a real-time personalised calendar of their activity schedules, as well as other sporting and music sessions.
To help keep the community up to date with any changes, Clipboard sends push-notification to the relevant students and parents as soon as anything changes (for example, the Chess Club has been moved to Room 3). Busy parents can also sync their children’s extracurricular schedule to their personal calendar app such as Google Calendar or Outlook.
At the point of scheduling, Clipboard automatically detects clashes such as a student not being available, the location is already being used at that time, the staff is unavailable, or there is a public holiday.
Schools save up to $100K each year and multiple days of staff time each pay run using Clipboard Timesheets. Clipboard flags hours entries that don’t match up with the schedule, giving you confidence that timesheets are always accurate.
Plus, the system automatically calculates pay rates, overtime, allowances, penalty rates, classifications and cost codes in line with relevant awards.
