New Software
We are rewriting the Sec 2 Subject Combination Software. Will be ready in term 2.
Subject Allocation and Management System (SAMS) is a windows application developed to help schools to manage and streamline their Secondary 2 Subject Combination processes.
SAMS is very organized. It is more than collating students’ choices. It actually does the allocation based on max subject size and students' merit and preferences.
SAMS optimizes the process of Allocation based on parameters setting and constraints defined. It is simple to use and can save tremendous amount of time.
It has many functions and procedures customised just to meet your requirement. For example, you can setup each option (Subject Combi) with criteria. Only Students who meet these criteria will be allowed to choose these options.
You can also offer Out-Of-Stream Subject to students who qualify. They will then decide whether to Accept or not during the Selection. If they accept, SAMS will "upgrade" the subject automatically during allocation.
And when allocating Options to students, it will consider the Group Size, Option Availability, Subject Vacancy, Students' Merit, Qualifications and Choices. All these processes will be completed with seconds.
If you are keen in SAMS, we will be glad to demo the software to you at your school without any obligation. Call us!
Please download SAMS Write-Up for more details.
