New website for the Schools First project

Busy times here at Efront in the run to the end of financial year, lots of news to come but what better place to start than Schools First.

In October 2008 we started work with the NAB on the Schools First project and now we're proud to announce the launch of the full Schools First website

If you're unfamiliar with the project here's a blurb from the site :

"Schools First is a fantastic new initiative that is about improving outcomes for young people. At its heart, Schools First is about bringing together students, teachers, parents and community members, to support each other and help improve student outcomes."

There's a prizepool of $15 million dollars being awarded to schools and their partnerships over a 3 year period! A fantastic opportunity.

Our involvement with NAB and the Schools First partners (Australian Centre for Education Research and the Foundation for Young Australians) has been all around the design and development of the Schools first website. It's been a great process to be involved with and to date we've had the pleasure of helping hundreds of schools across the country register for workshops online via the website! With the inclusion of community partners, there's thousands of registrations being processed and organized via the site.

The new site includes a calendar of events, live polls, social network interaction, a comprehensive search tool and (of course) great content! All of this is and more running on the Efront Backstage content management system, allowing the content owners a quick and easy way to keep content fresh, up to date and accurate!

We're proud to be involved in such an excellent project and we're excited about continuing to deliver great tools to all involved!
