A compilation storybook is a book of short stories, poems, essays, artwork, or anything you can image. It is a perfect platform to showcase students’ talent in your own class or your entire school. By inviting them to submit their work, children, families, and communities come together through their active contribution towards a common goal.

They will take pride when seeing their work published in a real book and will enjoy their friends’ submissions as well. You can use our easy online publishing tool or let us create the book for you.

Although creating a cookbook is not a new idea, it is a rewarding one. Cookbooks have longevity and food brings people together. A cookbook fundraiser is a great way to bring your community together by sharing your favourite family recipes. It encourages creativity and healthy eating.

Create a real book with your child at home or in the classroom. For budding authors of any age, it has never been easier or more fun to self publish. For your own picture book or novel, choose the group book options under the create tab (think of it as a small group of 1).

This allows you to set the number of pages you need, then simply add text boxes and photo frames and just start creating. Invite contacts to purchase a book or just print one for you own enjoyment or a special gift.

A portfolio captures each student’s learning throughout the year. Teachers can set tasks, check their students’ work, and invite parents to view their child’s progress. It is a valuable, interactive teaching and learning tool. As activities, projects, excursions, and personal achievements occur throughout the year, students record their work in their SYS portfolios.

At the end of the year each child receives a professionally printed book, a tangible record and treasured keepsake. Parents will love the organised collection of their children’s stories, projects, arts, and crafts. They will also appreciate every teachers’ efforts, resulting in an overall enhanced school image.
