Whole School Group Photo

SchoolPix specialises in capturing the essence and unity of your entire school community in a whole school group photo!

Choose from our flexible options: opt for a digital file for your own use or select high-quality prints or posters tailored to suit your needs. At SchoolPix, we believe in creating lasting memories that reflect your school’s unique spirit. Contact your Account Manager today to explore the possibilities.

When Is The Whole School Photo Taken?

Creating a whole school group photo is a meticulous process that typically requires at least an hour and even longer for special anniversary numbers. Due to the time and coordination involved, we usually schedule these photos on a different day from your school photos. For optimal results and to ensure everyone’s comfort, we find that the later part of term three or in term four works best when the weather is more favourable. This way, we can avoid any inconvenience to students sitting or standing on wet grass on the oval.

Your Account Manager will work with you to choose the best time of year and most suitable day for your special photo.

Anniversary Whole School Group Photos – A Unique Way To Celebrate

Mark your school’s special anniversary with a truly memorable group photo! Our innovative anniversary group images offer creative layouts shaped to reflect your milestone year, such as a large “100” for a centenary or a custom formation meaningful to your school.

Drone Photography

To take your celebration to new heights, we offer the option of capturing your whole school group photo using state-of-the-art drone technology. This allows us to create a breathtaking aerial image that showcases your entire school community from a striking, elevated perspective. Whether it’s forming a meaningful shape on the oval, spelling out a milestone year, or simply gathering everyone together in one impressive frame, drone photography adds a unique and memorable touch to your school’s special occasion.

Virtual Group Photo

We can also create a virtual group photo by digitally stitching together individual portraits of every student and staff member. This is a fantastic solution when it’s not possible to gather everyone in one location or when you want a polished, consistent look without the challenges of weather or logistics. You can even choose to overlay the final image on a custom background or school-themed design.

Summary Of Available Options:

  • Traditional whole school group photo (complimentary)
  • Aerial group photo in a custom number or shape
  • Virtual group photo (digitally stitched from individual images)
  • Drone video footage of your formation.

Please note: Charges apply to drone photography, virtual group creation, and video footage. Contact your Account Manager for more details and a personalised quote.
