Case Study: Barker College achieves a scalable, user-friendly website and increased parent engagement with Elcom

Barker College - Customer Case Study

Barker College, an independent Anglican day and boarding school in Sydney, needed a new website because their custom-built CMS was difficult to support, update and maintain and relied heavily on a small IT team. The college wanted a scalable, automated, user‑friendly system for non-technical staff, with core functionality such as a calendar and local provider support.

Barker chose elcomCMS, implementing content-rich curriculum pages, online fee payments, a decentralized weekly bulletin, an events calendar, prospectus and tour booking forms, and integrations via dynamic widgets. The result was a more intuitive publisher experience, empowered departments and faster publishing, increased student and parent engagement (notably more tour bookings), greater flexibility to meet future digital goals and an ongoing technology partnership with Elcom.
