Singaporean families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and PSLE and national exam seasons with publish gates - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so calendar-driven attendance and exam scheduling precision does not live in disconnected spreadsheets.
