As part of our new House Points system at
Beacon Hill School, we wanted to have a system

for managing the points that was modern and
simple for staff and students to use. We have
developed an app for all mobile devices and the

web to do this. The apps work in conjunction
with a back end system we built in-house to

keep and manage all the data. Students and
staff are excited about the new system.

Beacon Hill School worked with IT staff at
ESF Centre this year to trial the new portfolio

and assessment system called Evidencer.
Teachers in Year 1 and specialist teachers
added evidence of learning through photos and

videos that were tied to learning outcomes.
The system is easy for parents to access at

any time to see updates on their children’s
progress.

We continued with our subscriptions to Brain
Pop, Brain Pop Junior, Purple Mash, Britannica

Online, Mathletics, Reading Eggs and EnTrak.
We also subscribed to a service called Big
Universe to give students access to high

quality online resources that are suitable for
their age and ability level.
