Gallery & Media

Albums, event galleries and a media library.

Overview

Photos of children are both your best marketing and your biggest consent liability — usually shared through personal phones with neither purpose served. Gallery & Media publishes albums with consent checked, visibility controlled, and parents viewing through the portal instead of a stranger’s WhatsApp forward.

From WhatsApp forwards to a consented archive

Representative scenario — illustrative

An 1,100-student school photographs every sports day, annual function and field trip on staff phones, then shares the best shots in class WhatsApp groups so parents feel included.

Doing it by hand

The photos scatter across a dozen personal handsets and get re-forwarded until a child appears on a stranger’s feed with no idea how it got there. No one asks whether that family gave photo consent, and when a parent objects there is no way to pull the image back. Come the anniversary volume, the media incharge is begging teachers to dig through two-year-old camera rolls.

The cheap-ERP trap

The budget ERP offered a “gallery” that was really a shared folder — bulk-upload, no consent check, one visibility setting for everyone. It could not tell a class-only album from a public marketing shot, so nervous staff either published nothing or published everything. Six months in, the albums are stale, the real photos are back in WhatsApp, and consent is still a signature in a file no one cross-checks.

With ez.school

ez.school makes publishing a compliant act, not a risk. Every upload checks against the student’s photo-consent record before it can go live, each album carries its own visibility — a class, all parents, or the public site — and one review approves it. Parents view their child’s moments in the portal, and every event files itself by session into an archive the accreditation visit and the anniversary volume can both draw on.

Inside the app

How Gallery & Media works for you

Albums with consent built in

Uploads check against photo-consent records before publication; albums choose their visibility — a class, all parents, or the public site. Review before publish is one approval, not a debate.

The archive your institution deserves

Yearly albums build the institutional memory — searchable, organised by event and session, ready for the anniversary volume and the accreditation visit alike.

Evaluation questions

Gallery & Media — asked and answered

How does photo consent work?

Consent is recorded per student; publication checks it and flags conflicts before an album goes live.

Can albums be public for marketing?

Yes — visibility per album: a class, all parents, or the public website, each an explicit choice.

Are original files preserved?

Originals store in your institution’s private space; the portal serves web-optimised versions.
