The King's School in Parramatta, Sydney, uses FileMaker Pro to store and manage a wide variety of data that is dynamic, and requires changes and updates that reflect the ongoing activities of the community. FileMaker handles everything from academic, welfare and discipline records for
students to timetables and sports lists by team
and by age group, plus all the administrative information required to efficiently manage an extended school community.

Customer Benefits

• A single, easy-to-use FileMaker Pro database stores and manages all of the information required to administer the school community.
• The database is scalable, growing to meet the needs of new functions and applications added as the school expands and work processes are refined.
