Whether you're looking to showcase some great work at your school or display lots of photo albums from school trips and events, you can utilise galleries for all occasions. A Gallery is a good way to group together Albums, whether it is photos from this academic year, Albums for a Year group or a school club, the choice is yours.
TIP: Not sure where to create your Gallery? Here are few suggestions:
- A News & Events section is a great place to add a News Category, a Calendar and a Gallery; so that you can showcase all the exciting things taking place.
- In your class pages, so that teachers can showcase class activities and keep parents abreast of what's happening in school.
- Occasionally, you may have not find an appropriate place to share your gallery publicly. In this instance, an administrator can add it to the Hidden Area via the Sitemap View, so that it won't appear in the navigation menus on your site.
