Challenge
Before implementing Education360, Penola Catholic College faced challenges leveraging student data. The data was scattered across multiple sources, making it difficult and time-consuming for educators to collect and access necessary information about their students.
This abundance of data across multiple disparate systems also hindered the ability to synthesise and analyse it to gain meaningful insights. As a result, educators struggled to identify at-risk students and provide timely support, leading to potential gaps in student learning and growth.
Solution
To address the challenges faced by Penola Catholic College in effectively leveraging student data, 9X5 implemented their premier data analytics, monitoring and visualisation tool, Education360.
Utilising the powerful capabilities of Domo. Education360 serves as the centralised hub for all student data, bringing together information from various sources into one comprehensive dashboard.
Education360 was specifically tailored to address Penola’s main pain points, taking into account their unique challenges. It seamlessly integrated both on-premise and cloud-based data, ensuring that staff members could easily access and utilise the data they needed.
Additionally, the platform offered the ability to annotate within the data itself, facilitating collaboration among staff members and enabling them to hold themselves and students accountable for progress. Whether they needed a class summary or wanted to drill down to individual student profiles, the platform allowed educators to visualise and analyse data, enabling informed decision-making quickly.
Impact
Implementing Education360 at Penola Catholic College has significantly impacted the school's ability to leverage student data and address the challenges they faced effectively.
The consolidation of data from multiple sources into comprehensive dashboards has streamlined the process of collecting and accessing student information. Educators no longer need to spend valuable time searching for data across disparate systems. The centralised hub provided by Education360 allows for efficient data retrieval, saving time and effort for educators.
“We had data in ten different places, forcing staff to go to ten different locations to find out everything they needed to know about their students. It was too much to expect." Anthony Austin, IT Manager, Penola Catholic College
By synthesising and analysing the collected data, educators can now identify trends, patterns, and areas of improvement more effectively. This has enabled them to proactively identify at-risk students and provide timely support, closing potential student learning and growth gaps. The ability to drill down to individual student profiles has allowed educators to understand each student's academic journey better and personalise their approach to support their unique needs.
Another positive impact of Education360 is the enhanced collaboration among staff members. The platform's annotation feature facilitates communication and collaboration, enabling educators to share observations, strategies, and interventions within the data. This fosters a collaborative and accountable environment where staff members can work together to support student progress.
Education360 has transformed the way Penola Catholic College utilises student data. The centralised access to comprehensive data, coupled with powerful analytics and visualisation tools, has enabled educators to make informed decisions, tailor interventions, and provide targeted support to students.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent="100" gutter_size="2" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="-2" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" width="1/4" uncode_shortcode_id="101464"][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent="0" back_color="color-129056" overlay_color="color-xsdn" overlay_alpha="50" gutter_size="3" shift_y="0" z_index="0" uncode_shortcode_id="203301" back_color_type="uncode-palette" overlay_color_type="uncode-palette" css=".vc_custom_1686897680299{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}"][vc_column_inner column_width_percent="100" gutter_size="3" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="0" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" width="1/1" uncode_shortcode_id="493821"][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id="147862"]

Challenge
In 2021, the Department opened the TSSP Supplier Panel, looking to reinvigorate the panel and ensure they were getting the best results. With a strong background in the sector, 9X5 Consulting provided a submission and successfully became a supplier to the TSSP program.
Solution
Every school covered by the TSSP is assigned a Service Delivery Manager (SDM) in conjunction with the school, who determines a weekly allocation of technical support hours to meet the school's specific needs. Once a school's requirement is understood, the TSSP website updates with the new role, and the approved suppliers can then nominate for the role. Depending on the school's size and technology footprint, these roles can range from a few hours to several days per week.
As a TSSP Supplier, 9X5 Consulting understand that no two schools requirements are identical so we have tailored our programme around this, targeting ICT-based tertiary leavers as well network and technical support engineers with several years of ICT experience.
We actively market to tertiary colleges and universities with ICT courses as well as technical job boards, and have developed our own TSSP page which pulls active roles from the TSSP sitedisplays it as a map of Victoria. It shows applicants what current TSSP roles are available near them, how many hours each role contains and an application call to action. Our recruitment team reviews any applications that come directly through our CRM.
We then interview candidates, looking at technical and soft skills to ensure they would be a good fit for a school.
By automating our website, application, and vetting processes, we can instead spend more time working with the applicant to ensure we give them a great start to a career in ICT and that the school's needs match those of the best applicant.
Impact
Our approach to the TSSP program is holistic, melding the school's specific requirements with the candidate's technical expertise and soft skills, geographic location, and career aspirations.
We have found that this approach ensures longer tenures and better working relationships with the schools. In only 12 months, we have expanded our participation in the TSSP to 14 schools, supported by 8 technical support consultants.
Feedback from the Department of Education's SDMs has been excellent, and we look forward to continuing to support the program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent="100" gutter_size="2" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="-2" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" width="1/4" uncode_shortcode_id="101464"][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent="0" back_color="color-129056" overlay_color="color-xsdn" overlay_alpha="50" gutter_size="3" shift_y="0" z_index="0" uncode_shortcode_id="203301" back_color_type="uncode-palette" overlay_color_type="uncode-palette" css=".vc_custom_1686897680299{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}"][vc_column_inner column_width_percent="100" gutter_size="3" overlay_alpha="50" shift_x="0" shift_y="0" shift_y_down="0" z_index="0" medium_width="0" mobile_width="0" width="1/1" uncode_shortcode_id="493821"][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id="851648"]
