Staff can request new software or applications where there is a legitimate educational or business need. Before submitting a request, staff should first check whether the required functionality already exists within software currently available through JSRACS, as many tools and features are already included in the school's existing platforms and licenses.


Any software or application request must include the software name and, if known, any associated costs. All requests will be reviewed by the ICT team to assess suitability, security, licensing requirements, compatibility and supportability within the school environment. Approval is not guaranteed and may require additional review by management.


Applications and software currently available to staff can be viewed through the Company Portal. 
(image shown below).

Before submitting a software or application request:

  1. Check the Company Portal to see if the application is already available.
  2. Confirm the software is appropriate for educational use and supports your teaching or business requirements.
  3. Ensure the functionality is not already available through software that JSRACS currently provides.
  4. Gather the following information:
    • Software / application name
    • Purpose or intended use
    • Staff member(s) requiring access
    • Any known licensing or subscription costs
  5. Submit your request to the ICT team for assessment.

Important Notes

  • Approval is required for all software and application requests.
  • Staff must not independently purchase or install software on school-managed devices.
  • Requests will be assessed for security, privacy, licensing, compatibility and support requirements.
  • Applications already approved and available to staff can be found in the Company Portal.
