For principals & leadership

The visibility you need. Without chasing a single person.

Right now, your awareness of what's happening across your school depends on who tells you, and when. Orca gives you a real-time view of every activity, every approval status, and every compliance gap. And lets you ask any question about your calendar in plain language, instantly.

Calendar insights

Answers, not dashboards.
Ask anything.

Orca's insights capability lets you ask questions about your school's calendar, staffing, participation, and upcoming activities in plain language, and get a direct, immediate answer.

Examples of what leadership can ask

"What activities are running in Week 9 and are there any staffing concerns?"

7 activities in Week 9. The Yr 8 History Excursion on Wednesday currently has 3 staff assigned against a required ratio of 4 for 92 students. All other activities meet their staffing requirements.

"Are there any scheduling conflicts across our campuses in Term 3?"

Two potential conflicts identified: the Junior Campus Swimming Carnival and Senior Campus Athletics Day are both scheduled for 18 July. This may create transport and supervision resource pressure. I can flag this for planning review.

"Which activities this term still have outstanding risk assessments?"

3 activities have outstanding risk assessments: ELC Nature Walk (due 12 June), Yr 6 Canberra Trip (due 19 June), and the Winter Carnival (due 3 July). Staff in charge have been notified automatically.

What changes for leadership

Confidence in every decision.
Not hope.

Leadership shouldn't have to trust that approvals happened, risks were assessed, or the right staff are rostered. With Orca, you can verify, or ask, in seconds.

Every activity, visible in real time

A live view across all campuses, approved, in-review, or in-progress. No more relying on who tells you what's running. Everything your school is doing, in one governed place.

Ask anything about your calendar

Ask "which activities have fewer than the required staff ratio next month?" and get a plain-language answer instantly. No report to build, no meeting to call.

Approve with genuine confidence

Every activity that reaches your desk has already been through AI compliance review, policies checked, risk assessment generated, staff ratios verified. You're approving something complete, not something to scrutinise.

Audit-ready when the board asks

Every approval, every document version, every comment, stored with a timestamp and attributed to the right person. When scrutiny arrives, the answer is already in the record.

How it works for leadership

From activity submission
to informed approval.

Every activity that reaches leadership in Orca has already been through planning assistance, compliance review, and structured workflow, so your approval means something.
