Appointment gives Victorian Government schools greater choice in school management technology


Sentral has been appointed as an approved School Management System (SMS) provider on the Victorian Department of Education panel, giving Victorian Government schools access to a trusted, streamlined procurement pathway for school management technology.

The appointment enables schools to procure Sentral through an approved government purchasing process, with transparent pricing, simplified procurement, and local Australian-based support.

For more than 25 years, Sentral has partnered with Australian schools to help streamline administration, strengthen family engagement, and improve visibility of student information across attendance, wellbeing, and academic performance. Hundreds of Victorian schools already use the platform.

Antony Mawer, General Manager of Sentral, said the appointment provides schools with greater flexibility in selecting technology that best meets their needs.

"Victorian schools are managing increasing operational demands while maintaining a strong focus on student outcomes, often without awareness of the options available to them to support running their school" said Mawer. "This appointment gives schools greater choice and easier access to a proven platform that helps reduce administrative burden, improve communication with families and provide staff with timely information to better support students."

Through a single connected platform, Sentral helps schools simplify administration, finance, and payments, improve visibility of student wellbeing and progress, support earlier intervention and strengthen engagement with parents and carers.
