Keeping Parents Informed
19th January, 2021

It's a new year and that means we've got a whole bunch planned for Banqer High. First up - we're introducing a way to keep your parents and caregivers up to date with what's going on in your Banqer High classroom.

Here's a summary of what's being released today:

  • Students can enter their parent/caregiver's email address in the dashboard
  • Once their email address is confirmed, they'll receive fairly regular updates as milestones are achieved in Banqer High
  • Teachers can view the status of their classroom, and which students have connected parents/caregivers

Additionally we've made a number of other changes:

  • Payslips will now show repayments for multiple student loans, if you have them
  • Price movements on the BHX have had a slight rework
  • Fixed display issues when enabling expansions as a teacher for the first time
Introducing: Wrap Up
23rd November, 2020

It’s always awesome for students to reflect on the progress they’ve made throughout the year, and to celebrate how far they've come. So from today we’re adding a new wrap up experience to Banqer High.

This will take students through a fun summary of their time using Banqer High, highlighting their strengths and how they have developed financially. Check it out in a Banqer High classroom near you!

Here's a quick summary of the changes:

  • Teachers are able to set a wrap up date for their classroom
  • Students are given a list of tasks to complete before the wrap up
  • Once wrapped up, your classroom is paused, and students can't interact any further
  • Students will be able to view an interactive wrap up experience, and download their certificate of completion

Additionally:

  • Students can download their CVs for real-world use
  • Teachers can export a spreadsheet of student progress
