How do I upload student and staff photos / avatars?

← Managing a Sentral System
As well as automatically importing photos from your administration where applicable, Sentral also provides a manual method of bulk uploading student photos.

Important to Note
This requires Sentral Administrator access.
Due to browser caching, it may be a number of hours before the photos appear on the student screens.  
If you use a reverse proxy service for remote access (eg NSWDOE) it may be some time before the correct photos display when using external access
To automatically match student photos, the files should be named in the format <STUDENT_ID>.jpg - For example if you students ID in SAS is STU001, a file called STU001.jpg will automatically match to that student.
The uploader will also attempt to user name details from the filename to automatically match to a student/staff record.
  • Select Sentral Setup
  • Student and Staff Photos.
  • Select Upload Photos
  • Open the folder containing the photos in a separate window
  • Click on and drag the photos from the folder to the Sentral window.
  • Go to Match Photos
  • Change Students Link on any photos that did not match.
