Prize draws

Our prize draws feature has always been a popular way to engage students and reward them for their hard work. We're always amazed at the creativity of schools in using it for all manner of exciting prizes and awards.

This year we wanted to make some improvements to the feature, and we're excited to share that these are now live.

We've rebuilt many parts of the interface to make it easier to use and more intuitive. Nominations lists, purchases lists, and winners lists are now all easier to access and manage from a single, central location.

Nominated draws have seen the biggest improvements. Now, staff nominating a child will be able to leave a reason for the nomination. Even better - you can now set up winner selection to be manual for these nominated draws, meaning administrators can choose based on the nominations received.

Other notable improvements

As always, we've been working on a long list of smaller incremental improvements - here are some examples:

• We've added a new Groups > Houses page, facilitating staff bulk awarding students within a house context, viewing data sheets, and more.
• We've added the ability to escalate interventions directly from the interventions overview.
• We've added lots of new links between sections to make navigating between user profiles and other sections much easier.
• We've improved Epraise's understanding of various year groups such as Junior Kindergarten.
• We've improved several exports with things such as better date formatting.
• We've got a new logo! All Veracross products now have a new logo, as part of the launch of Veracross 360.
• And much more!

Class passes

Students being out of lessons without good reason has become a big problem for many schools and we want to help schools tackle this wellbeing issue with better visibility and insight into what is happening.
