What is TripPA?
TripPA is a comprehensive school trip management application designed specifically for educators to streamline the organisation and oversight of educational visits. Built by teachers with schools in mind, TripPA offers a paperless solution that eliminates the stress typically associated with planning and managing school trips. The platform provides a centralised system where teachers can create trip proposals, obtain approvals from Educational Visit Coordinators (EVCs), and manage all aspects of school excursions from initial planning through to completion, saving educators valuable time and reducing administrative burden.
The key capabilities of TripPA include proposal and approval workflows for quick sign-off from leadership teams, customisable itinerary building that can be shared with staff and parents, secure photo and video sharing through a private platform called 'Moments', efficient staff and student management with room and group assignment features, and secure document storage with customised access permissions. TripPA also offers MIS integration through Wonde to pull student data securely, web and mobile applications for both planning and on-the-go access, and robust data security measures to protect sensitive information. The platform emphasises user-centric design with an intuitive interface that makes navigation straightforward for all users.
Implementation of TripPA in schools follows a simple three-step process that begins with creating a trip idea in minutes and sharing it with leadership for approval. Once approved, teachers can invite staff members, confirm logistics, and publish key information to relevant stakeholders including parents. During the trip itself, educators can access all necessary information from their mobile devices and share live updates with families, maintaining clear communication throughout the experience. The platform integrates with existing school management information systems, allowing for seamless data transfer and reducing duplicate data entry. TripPA's paperless approach also helps schools reduce costs and environmental impact while maintaining comprehensive records of all trip-related information.
