Built by an Australian teacher for Australian schools
House Competitions
Track house points across your entire school. Create friendly competition that motivates students and builds school spirit.
Student Management
Organise students by house and class. Import from CSV or add manually. Teachers award points to any student in their classes.
Live Display Mode
Show real-time house standings on hallway screens or in assemblies. Totals update automatically as points are awarded.
Points History
Every point is recorded with a reason and timestamp. Track trends over weeks and terms. Export for reports anytime.
Award from Anywhere
Phone, tablet, or laptop. Teachers can award a point from the yard, the corridor, or the classroom in two taps.
School Security
Only approved school domains can register. Role-based access keeps student data safe and private.
How it works
Set up your houses
Name your houses (Phoenix, Griffin, Dragon, Unicorn — or whatever your school uses), pick colours, and import students.
Teachers award points
From any device, teachers tap a student, pick a reason (Leadership, Teamwork, Effort…), and award. Points count toward the house.
Celebrate on the display
Put the live leaderboard on a hallway screen. Show it in assembly. Watch students cheer as their house climbs.
