St Marcellin Catholic College

About

St Marcellin Catholic College is a K-12 school based south of Perth, WA.  

A member school of Catholic Education WA, St Marcellin Catholic College will provide a holistic education experience steeped in the Marist teaching traditions of St Marcellin Champagnat, the patron saint of education, teachers, and simplicity.

Their new website is a project that needs to reflect the reverence of traditional teaching practices with the conveniences and innovation that come with any modern school community. 

Working with a school that is yet to be built comes with its own specific challenges, but we were determined to provide SMCC with a digital home that reflects tradition, simplicity and community. 

The brief

• Provide a site that serves multiple goals; help to grow the SMCC story, grow enrolments and communicate with families. 
• Create a smooth and user-friendly environment for prospective families. 
• Showcase the school’s offerings that are easy to navigate and with clear access to resources and information. 
• Allow families to enrol, make payments, register for events and communicate with the school and wider community.

The solution

• Defining and optimising user pathways in which parents find information and resources with an aim to submit an enrolment enquiry.
• UX designs that concisely yet comprehensively show the school’s enrolment process, values and teaching methods. 
• A custom WordPress build that uses clearly defined templates to ensure consistency throughout. 
• Implementation of multiple third-party software elements to allow for smooth and user-friendly interactions with the larger school community and external vendors.
