Because EventElephant is completely online, it improves the interaction between parents, families and the wider community. Not only will teachers or administrators be able to email details of school trips or activities directly to parents, but everyone involved also gets real transparency on what is happening, and when.

The communication process between the school and the home becomes much more efficient with parents able to authorise their child’s event participation in plenty of time, and pay for it online with our secure credit card process facility.

With EventElephant there is no need to rely on paper, word of mouth or cheques, or for never receiving the scrunched up school newsletter eternally lost at the bottom of the school bag.

Created for children of all ages, EventElephant has a child friendly interface and develops thinking, ICT, literacy and numeracy skills using proven learning principles. EventElephant also strengthens vocabulary, comprehension and written expression. Children have to use reasoning, thinking and problem solving skills as well as being able to gain experience of working in a team and managing projects through to completion.

EventElephant also solidifies a better understanding of numeracy through its manipulation of ticket options and database creation, providing opportunities to develop understanding of profit and loss and break even.

Take Event Management for instance. It is a key aspect of school life, with Christmas parties, plays and recitals, school trips and fund raising activities being but a few in the annual cycle of Events. Engaging children in school productions and combining this with the creation of a promotional website will naturally dovetail in with a range of National Curriculum objectives. Not only are the event creation tasks fun, but they also enable children to learn how to plan, organise and promote events successfully within a real web environment.
