Green Point Christian College has always been committed to providing top-tier education while fostering a strong sense of community and growth. As part of this vision, the College wanted to ensure parents have a seamless and transparent enrolment experience. Enter Digistorm Funnel, a robust enrolment management system, integrated with Feesable, a dynamic fee calculation tool.
This collaboration between the two platforms revolutionised the College's approach to enrolment, communication, and growth management. With Funnel and Feesable combined, Green Point Christian College has seen benefits for both their prospective families and internal teams.
What is Feesable?
Feesable has designed a platform to simplify the often complex world of school fees. Their School Fee Calculator is carefully designed to help parents make informed decisions about their child's education by delivering personalised school fee estimates. This fosters transparency which in turn builds trust between families and the school. It also creates efficiencies for the enrolments team, improves communication, and generates valuable enrolment enquiries for schools. The result? An excellent customer experience for both prospective and current families, and schools that stand out as transparent and innovative in a competitive landscape.
For Angela Sheather, Registrar at Green Point Christian College, the benefits of Feesable have been significant. "Feesable is a really useful tool, not just for us but also prospective families," shares Angela. "I'm able to direct prospective families to the fee calculator rather than personally working out fees myself. Families have told me they appreciate being able to use Feesable so they can sit and discuss fees and forward planning prior to them even making an enquiry at the College. That means when they come to us, doing a tour or considering enrolment, they already know that it will work for them."
Digital transformation with Funnel
Implementing Digistorm's Funnel allowed Green Point Christian College to make the much-needed transition from manual processes to a digital platform. For the school's Business Manager, Michael Lowbridge, Funnel offered everything the College needed. "We started looking for a digital platform to engage our enrolment process," explains Michael. "My go-to was Digistorm, and I chose not to go anywhere else at that point because I looked at the product and thought, 'This is going to be good for what we need'."
"Historically, our enrolment tracking process was very manual. There were a lot of paper-based processes, phone calls and face-to-face meetings. Very hard to search, very hard to keep track of. I have an I.T. background and so I'm particularly attracted to eliminating paper where possible; Funnel allows us to do that."
The Integration of Funnel and Feesable
Though the school team has been impressed with both Funnel and Feesable, it's the integration of the two platforms that has really streamlined their processes.
According to Brendan Wood, Assistant Business Manager & Marketing Manager at Green Point Christian College, the team is now in agreement that they wouldn't want to operate any other way. "Since the integration of Feesable into Funnel, we no longer have to look out for notification emails. We can just go into Funnel, bring up our list of Feesable enquiries, and look through that list. We go to Funnel for all of that information now, rather than juggling two systems," states Brendan.
"We've seen growth in the school since adopting Feesable and Funnel at the end of 2019. We've grown from 950 students in early 2020, now to around 1,150 students, and next year, we anticipate beginning with almost 1,200 students."
