Requirements Report
We decided to create a website of Catherine McAuley to promote the school to future students and their parents also teachers. The website also assists current students/parents and teachers with the history of the school, any extracurricular activities they are unaware of, a map of the school, a list of contacts and a section of the website which introduces other students of the school. This website will be accessed very easily where ever there is a computer and internet connection.
Data Output= The website provides an extensive range of information regarding Catherine McAuley Westmead and promoting the variety of values they uphold based on the teachings of Mother Catherine McAuley. The website also displays different ways your own daughter can contribute to the school. The website offers a history of the school, a school tour/map, a list of school contacts and a link to what the school offers in terms of activities (e.g debating, St Vincent de Paul Charity Works etc). The different school houses and its history plus the school spirit related to each house (eg. Mercy Day, Homeroom Spirit competions etc)
Data Input= This website is more of an information source/ Data Output rather than a place of entering information. The only Data Input that is likely with this website is the option of sending an email and the only data is the email address for a reply and an unlikely chance of details such as a phone number or home address.

Documentary Evidence
With the Requirements Report i was unsure with the part of providing documentary evidence of the scope of the project. So i just uploaded sections of my project.
My project consisted of an instructions page, template and example class
Requirements Report
Purpose of the Markbook: To provide teachers with a less complex way to insert marks into a system and let it automatically comprehend averages, assign alphabetical grades to students and scale scores.
Data Input and Output- Teachers only need to enter the marks and names of the students via a keyboard into the allocated sections and let “The Markbook” manipulate this data to produce averages, rankings, alphabetize grades etc.
Information Processes:
Collecting-collection of research on already available mark books also collecting marks
Organising- organise information collected to decided what features should be included in you Mark Book.
Analysing- formatting the Mark book in such a way that the data entered is turned into information. E.g.: entering names and alphabetizing them.
Storing and Retrieving- During the implementing part of the project, storing the Mark book and retrieving it later was commonly utilized. This process would also be used a great deal for teachers who store and retrieve marks constantly throughout the year.
Processing- This process is used after the finishing of the Mark book, when marks are entered and manipulated and turned into information.
Displaying- The mark book can be displayed anywhere, where there is a computer. It also can be printed to be displayed on paper.

Context Diagram/Data Flow Diagram
Aswell as producing a spreadsheet that will function as a Markbook, we had to produce a Context and Data Flow Diagram. The Context Diagram was not that difficult to construct but the Data Flow Diagram was a litlle more difficult due to the further level of detail not seen in the context diagram. To solve this I drew the Data flow diagram first on a paper as it is more easier to maneuver the different processes, flow of data and the different symbols used.
