Rise Open Day at 1pm on 21 May 2026
Dear School Staff,

We would like to cordially invite you to the upcoming Rise Open Day on the Rise school system. It will be held online via Facebook Live at 1pm on Thursday, the 21st of May. 

Created together with schools for the schools, Rise system empowers Bursars, Principals, Admin Officers, SGB members, Educators and other key stakeholders. 

Bringing finances, admin, communication into one place, the Rise one-stop system transforms the way schools work, saving them precious time for the things that matter. 

Join us at the Rise Open Day and see how schools streamline operations, improve school fees collection and school-parent communication in this interactive and engaging session. Here is the agenda:

1. Greetings. An introduction. 

2. Mr Alfonso Pereira, Principal at Star of the Sea Convent School, will share his school's experience using the Rise system since 2020. 
  "From three systems to a one-stop system. How Rise empowers our school on a daily basis. My favourite aspects of Rise."

3. Mrs Leslie Isaacs, a former Bursar, Rise school solution consultant: 
  "From paper statements to one single system. A recap of my 5 years of using the Rise system at South Peninsula High School."
  A 12-month Bursar's workflow in the Rise system.

4. Five practical ways to increase the school fees collection and improve school-parent communication with the Rise system. 
  1. LIVE statements for parents/guardians on the Communicator app. 
  2. [NEW]: Streamline school fee collection with the Automatic Statements function.
