Who We Are
My School Connect (MSC) originated in 2013 from the passion of dedicated
parents who wanted to continue the idea of a community tuckshop, run by
parents and not for profit.
We understand that the role of parents has significantly changed over
time and the idea of volunteering at schools, is becoming more and
more difficult. We have become a time poor society, yet we still understand
the importance of school community.
MSC is aimed to make it easier for parents and school staff, to take the
everyday duties, such as ordering lunches from the tuckshop, purchasing
school uniforms, and fundraising by taking it online, via a simple and easy
to use system. This alleviates stress on school staff, handling cash and
sorting through multiple hand-written orders and simple for parents to jump
online and make orders instantly.
Founder, Rob saw the opportunity to take the school system online, from the
success that eventuated via their online childcare app in 2012. At the
childcare, parents were demanding more and more communication, yet didn’t
have the time for prolonged meetings or to complete lengthy
paperwork. Hence the app was born, eliminating the need for paper and
keeping parents happy with instant up to date information about their
child. Since moving this model into schools and developing MSC, we have
seen significant growth, with the amount of schools using the system
doubling every 6 months.
MSC have invested heavily in the development of these online systems,
ensuring the security, reliability, and scalability is world's best
practise. MSC have a development team of 8 coders, 2 interface designers,
and 1 server security administrator. The team is led by a technical project
manager who has spent the last 20 years in system development and digital
workflows.
Our backgrounds are: Rob is a father of four, all educated through the
suburban, small catholic primary school system. 8 years ago, Rob founded
and is currently running an extensive childcare business in the bayside
region. His background in business and contribution to developing this new
frontier has enabled the continual growth and expansion of My School
Connect.
Julia is a mother of three and has over 15 years experience in
large multinational institutions, as well as working with two successful
online businesses, which has contributed to the governance
and establishment of MSC for perpetuity. She has experience as a food
operations manager, overseeing a number of food outlets across Australia
and an extensive understanding of the Food Safety Regulations and
Requirements, which is a great asset for My School Tuckshop.
The financial commitment has secured the future of MSC and allowed
the opportunity for the business to expand into various industries such
as online events and community fundraising, giving the public the
opportunity to take control of their own administration and fundraising
efforts.
