Mary Help of Christians School – Streamlined Operations & Financial Growth with RSM
Mary Help of Christians School, like many institutions, once struggled with time-intensive end-of-year processes, manual statement distribution, class list management, and compliance reporting. As Bursar, Ms. Roxanne Abrahams-Sebolai faced the challenge of handling hundreds of student records, chasing fees, and preparing submissions efficiently.
In early 2022, during a Rise School Forum on 3 February, Ms. Roxanne showcased how the Rise School Management (RSM) cloud system transformed their operations. Since adopting the platform, the school has achieved remarkable efficiency gains and financial improvements.
Key Achievements Demonstrated:
● Seamless Year Rollover: With a few clicks, easily advance learners to new grades and classes — even handling split classes without manual rework. ● Bulk Communication: Print or email over 600 statements at once, with personalized messages, saving hours of admin work and improving fee collection. ● Flexible Reporting: Generate customizable class lists (any fields needed), export to Excel/PDF, and view gender statistics per class — perfect for teachers and administrators. ● Financial Efficiency: One-click bank reconciliations, automated 043-Form submissions, WCED Budget generation for Income & Expenses, and a new textbooks subsystem for inventory control. ● Overall Impact: Integrated admin, accounting, and communication in one user-friendly platform. The school reported a 10-15% increase in school fees income, reduced paperwork, and faster processes.
