Student information system for Singapore schools

One secure, up-to-date record for every student — the foundation everything else in your school runs on.

Quick answer

A student information system (SIS) is the database at the centre of school management software. It stores each student's personal details, guardians and emergency contacts, enrolment and class history, medical and dietary notes, and documents. In SchoolSoftware.sg, the SIS feeds billing, attendance, timetables and the parent app, so information is entered once and kept consistent everywhere.

What the student information system stores

Online enrolment and admissions

Parents fill in an online enrolment form that creates the student record directly — no re-typing paper forms. You can collect registration fees and deposits at the same time, and track enquiries, trial classes and waitlists in an admissions pipeline.

Handling NRIC and personal data properly

Under the PDPC's advisory guidelines, organisations should generally not collect, use or disclose full NRIC numbers unless required by law or necessary to accurately establish identity. SchoolSoftware.sg lets you make NRIC fields optional, store only partial identifiers, and restrict sensitive fields like medical notes to authorised staff. Every view and change is logged. See our PDPA guide for schools.

Promote students at the end of the year

Move whole cohorts to the next level in one action at year end — P6 students graduate, Sec 4s move to "alumni", and everyone else is promoted with their history intact.

Frequently asked questions

What is a student information system?

A student information system (SIS) is software that stores and manages student data — personal details, guardians, enrolment, attendance, grades and documents. It is the core component of a school management system.

What is the difference between an SIS and a school management system?

An SIS is the student records database. A school management system includes the SIS plus other modules that use that data, such as fee billing, attendance, timetabling, parent communication and report cards.

Should a tuition centre collect students' NRIC numbers?

Generally no. PDPC guidelines say organisations should not collect full NRIC numbers unless required by law or necessary to accurately establish identity to a high degree of fidelity. Most tuition and enrichment centres can identify students by name, date of birth and parent contact instead.
