St. Francis' Institution Forum

Many people have been complaining about this dying forums. However, how many have actually come up with suggestions to keep it alive? Please do something on your part cause the webmaster cannot handle everything by himself, as he may very well be studying and doesn't have the time.. Therefore, here's mine:

- Consider allowing more customization (think social networking sites and blogging sites. e.g. friendster,blogger, facebook, third party applications)

- Have a newsletter system ( I would very much like to know what's happening in school like retirements, annual dinners, etc. What better way that to have it sent right to my inbox?)

- Get teachers to join in the fun (Students would have a different view on stuffs like way of living)

- Allow subscription of our magazine, The Franciscans through this website

- Allow IT-savvy students to display their works here( third party applications, etc.)

- Have a special segments for club and societies to post announcements like meetings, farewell, reunions

- Webmaster should have some more proper names instead of taking up the names of characters from animes like naruto.(No offence but to give it a more professional feel)

- Allow students to have their personal space like profiles cause we're very individualistic these days

- Parents should be able to view their children's performance in school, connect with the teachers, assess their children's attendance, wrong-doings, even print their monthly examination assesments direct from the website

- students should be able to obtain information about scholarships, awards...etc

- Clubs can do online promotion (librarians can promote new books here, remind students to return about-to-due books), (ICT club members can promote items sold during ICT week here and even take orders online)

- Important datelines should be put into a timeline to enable easy access to important dates (e.g. in chronology, annual dinners, retirements, celebrations) this also enables ex-students to return to school on the right day and time

- keep us posted on new happenings in school like the change of schooling sessions, form 6 intake, etc.(by the way, I can't access the "news" section on the home page, consider checking)

- Recommendations of books by teachers and seniors which include the price list and maybe ordering?

-consider making it compulsory for every student to have an account(build sort of a database with contact numbers, email, address so we are able to keep in touch even after school)

- Pn. Loh can chase students to return SPBT books since everyone is getting the scheme now


That's all I can think about at this moment, consider checking other popular websites and forums to gain an insight on what we want. If any of this comments have already been integrated, my apologies cause I haven't finished scouting the website and do keep me posted. I really hope to see SFI's website enter Google's listing, no? Just try your best and keep your eyes and ears peeled.
