Synel Systems for School Registration

KESTREL

2

The Brief

Kestrel is an AM PM Student Registration Software

developed by Synel. Students swipe or wave their cards

at the clock and their attendance is registered in Kestrel.

Fingerprint option is also available for registration .

Kestrel uses the official codes used for attendance by

schools. Students are swiping / waving their cards at the

terminal and their attendance is registered automatically.

This process encourages students to take responsibility

and register their attendance themselves thus saving

valuable teaching time
