A for Assets provide an asset stocktake service for schools for their annual stocktake. We are a growing company with a history of doing stocktakes in schools dating back to 1997. We obtain nearly all our work via recommendation from other schools, and travel to schools anywhere in the state of Victoria servicing many hundreds of schools.

We provide friendly staff to perform the physical stocktake which includes barcoding your assets for you across the entire school – and that is just the beginning. Your system is then updated accordingly to reflect the state of the assets in your school.

To achieve this, A for Assets performs a comprehensive reconciliation process that establishes both lists of assets that were found but are not on your assets register, as well as assets no longer in the school but still on your assets register.

We regularly liaise with relevant organisations such as CCI insurance to ensure that your assets register is useful not only for accounting and tracking of assets, but also for insurance claims.

SCHOOL SIGNAGE

Have you ever wondered what other people think about your school? What is the impression they get as they drive by? If your school signs are attractive and inviting, they’ll already have a preference toward your school over one that has hard-to-read, or worn out signage.

First impressions count! You might have amazing programs, the highest ATAR scores in the area or a fantastic student to teacher to ratio but, if your signage doesn't reflect your school image in the best light, prospective parents and students will likely be put-off simply by what they can see.

Do you have a space in your school that looks a bit dull and boring? Let our CSI team transform it. Signage can help create a warm and welcoming place where students, teachers, and parents feel comfortable.

Essential Assessment is a quick and easy 3-step program for assessing C-10A students to pinpoint and build on the gaps in their learning:

Step 1: Pre-assessment: our online assessment platform helps teachers pre-assess their students within a strand, sub-strand, and topic of the Victorian Maths and English Curriculum from C-10A. Student assessment is marked instantly. Teacher planning views provide an achievement level and an analysis of the content descriptions that a student has understood and misunderstood.

Step 2: Teaching and Learning: easy to interpret planning data will guide classroom teachers in real-time to:
Identify gaps in knowledge and skills that require further development for an individual student or a whole class.
Target priority learning areas to build on learning lost during remote settings by focusing on the individual, whole class, or targeted group instruction.

Step 3: Post-assessment: post-assessment measures the growth and achievement of each student. Evidence of learning is continuous and collected in real-time to provide detailed student, class, and whole school reports for:

Victorian Curriculum achievement level

The overall achieved growth in alignment with the Victorian Curriculum C-10A

Grade and year level approximation

Numeracy and Literacy progressions
