Term One 2026 is almost here. If you’re still using manual processes to prepare, you know the drill: updating paper records, organizing class lists by hand, setting up fee structures, and trying to reach every parent before the first day.

It’s exhausting, time-consuming, and honestly, there’s a better way.

The Term One Prep Challenge

Every January, schools face the same bottlenecks:

  • Updating student records and adding new registrations
  • Organizing classes and balancing sizes
  • Setting up fee structures and communicating them to parents
  • Preparing attendance systems for the new term
  • Getting important information to all parents quickly

With manual systems, this takes weeks. With Rongeka Africa, you can be ready in days.
