Who decides what is collected

How it works
What the governing body decides
SA-SAMS, d6, Ed-Admin and Xero are the names of their owners' products. Slooch is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Step 1 of 5
Step 2
Which parts to start with
We suggest Connect and Register first, then Fees once the bursar is ready. The governing body decides.
Step 3
Who may see what
Access follows role and relationship. A teacher sees their own classes, a parent their own children and the finance office its accounts, and every change shows who made it.
Step 4
What stays official
SA-SAMS stays the school's official system for the department's returns. Slooch reads the learner, family and staff lists from an SA-SAMS export.
Step 5
What happens if the school stops
The school's data is exported to it and removed from Slooch on the school's instruction.
