Everything a school competition needs

The admin disappears. The house spirit stays.

From the first point awarded to the final-day ceremony, Arena handles the counting, the screens and the records, so your staff can focus on the people.

  • Describe it. Arena drafts it.

    Type your house championship in plain English, or upload the school calendar. AI drafts the events, scoring rubric and schedule. A teacher reviews and publishes; nothing goes live without a person.

  • Live leaderboards

    House and student standings move the moment a point lands, with a podium and an animated feed built for the assembly-hall screen.

  • Houses, grades & clubs

    Houses, sections and clubs, filtered by grade and category, in your school's own words. Run several campuses from one organisation.

  • Built for the big screen

    Put the standings on the assembly-hall display and let the whole school watch the race unfold in real time.

  • A record of every award

    Every point is logged with who gave it. Mistakes are corrected with a visible reversal, never a silent edit, so the scoreboard stays fair.

  • Records students own

    Passport turns approved participation into signed, verifiable credentials that belong to the student. Nothing is issued or shared without a guardian's consent.

  • Anonymous pulse checks

    Ask a short question after an event. Answers can't be traced to a person, and results appear only once at least five people have answered.

Why Arena

A house system that survives Term 2.

House systems start with energy and fade under admin. Arena takes the counting, the screens and the paperwork off your staff, so the competition keeps running without anyone's weekend.

  • Nobody tallies slips on a Friday

    Points go straight to the leaderboard when they're awarded. No whiteboard, no shared spreadsheet, no half-counted term.

  • Houses stay in the conversation

    A live scoreboard on the hall screen and every device keeps house pride visible in Term 2 and Term 3, not just on Sports Day.

  • Every teacher can run it

    A sentence or a template starts a competition. Pilot schools also get an onboarding call and written guides.

Create your arena

Built for the people who run it

Admin control and safety, by default

  • Student data, protected

    Every organisation's data is isolated at the tenant level, so one school can never see another's. Published pages never show students.

  • SSO & easy sign-in

    Google and Microsoft sign-in for staff and students, so there are no new passwords to manage.

  • Roles & records

    Only admins and organisers can award points. Every change is logged, and mistakes are fixed by a visible reversal.

  • Exportable records

    Download standings, participation and results for assemblies, reports and archives.

Why we built Arena

We lived the spreadsheet and the projector.

“We ran our school's house championship on spreadsheets and a projector. Half the points never got tallied, and no one could see the score. Arena is the tool we wished we'd had, so any teacher can run a fair, live competition without the busywork.”

Questions

What schools ask before they start.

Straight answers, including the ones about what Arena doesn't have yet.

Arena is a participation platform for schools, colleges, communities and workplaces. For schools it runs inter-house competitions, academic leagues and cultural fests with live leaderboards and a logged record of every award.

A teacher describes the competition in a sentence or starts from a template. Arena drafts the events, houses and scoring rubric, and a teacher reviews and publishes it. Coordinators then award points during events, and standings update live on any screen.

Yes. Every award is logged with who gave it, and a mistake is corrected with a visible reversal rather than a silent edit.

Every organization's data is isolated at the tenant level, so one school can never see another's. Data is held in a secured database, and our hosting services are protected with two-factor authentication.

No. A published league or fest page shows event details and, only for schools that chose to be named, a points table. Published pages never show students.
