The content outline below represents a general example of what a school area might contain. While some content will be in all school areas (eg, Introduction, What we do), other content won't be required by all schools.
About us
| Introduction | Strengths, unique features. Vibrant, exciting, makes an emotional connection. Like a walk down Cuba St? Include a video tour? One page only. Consider including a 1-minute video from HOS. |
| What we do | Possibly part of the introduction? A description of the work the school does, with links to relevant content on the homesite (eg: Areas of study; Degrees; Postgrad quals; Research projects; Centres and institutes). May be a series of visual 'promo' links. |
| Location and facilities | Link to Our campuses. The content here should be extended to include information about where to find faculties and schools within campuses, what general facilities are available, building/floor access, health and safety, and similar areas. Any 'local' information that is specific to the school and wouldn't be a fit on the mainsite can be added to this page. |
| Students | A small collection of features covering the university experience of recent students. |
| Staff | People finder tool? All staff associated with the school. Not presented in a table. |
| Alumni | Link to alumni area in new engagement hub. Retain on the school site any school-specific information for alumni (eg, newsletters, how to sign up). (But note that this may move to the engagement hub eventually.) |
| Positions | Eg, Academic Visitors' Programme, Fellows, Curator in Residence (School of Art History). |
| Partners | Accreditation, affiliations, prof bodies, industry assns and partnerships, sponsors, donors. |
| Publications | Relevant Link to mainsite for relevant publications - eg: School Prospectus, Faculty Handbook. |
Student info
Purpose: School-specific info for current students by coursework and research students that wouldn't fit into the generic content on the homesite.
