What it does

Prefect, in detail.

Teachers record behaviour, take the register and set homework in one place, against the school timetable. School leaders follow each learner’s timeline and progress, and families stay involved through the Prefect Guardian app on the App Store and Google Play. Built by SyncFac for South African schools.

  1. 01

    A record that follows the learner

    Record positive behaviour and concerns, individually or for a group, in your school’s own words: Merits and Demerits, Glows and Grows, or terms you choose. A chronological timeline, with every entry attributed, gives staff the context for their next conversation, and progress shows which way each learner is heading.

    • Quick class-based capture with an offline queue
    • Sanctions, escalation rules and a notifications inbox
    • House standings, learner progress and term or year reports
  2. 02

    Run the school day

    Teachers take the register in a tap per learner, even offline, and families explain an absence from their phone. The timetable lays out every class, teacher and room by period, with changes for a single day, and homework, the calendar and announcements reach families the moment they are published.

    • Daily registers, absence notes and attendance figures
    • Timetables with versions and one-day changes
    • Learning games through a CornyBits link, with consent recorded per learner
  3. 03

    Keep families part of the school day

    The school invites each guardian, and they choose their own password. The Prefect Guardian app, on the App Store and Google Play, then brings every linked child together: their standing, homework, timetable, attendance, the school calendar and a school-branded term report.

    • One sign-in across every school that has invited them
    • Access scoped to linked children
    • The same portal in any browser

    Make it your school

    Set up branding, classes, houses and behaviour categories, choose a staff theme, turn off the parts of Prefect you do not use, and import the learner list. Roles a school can adjust and an audit trail support accountable day-to-day administration.

    • Your school logo, colours, letterhead and theme
    • Learner import with validation
    • Unlimited staff and guardian access across the pricing plans
