You may want to pre-select students in certain activities prior to signups opening. This is particularly useful if, for example, you are running a sports squad and you want to be able to select your squad prior to signups opening, thus preventing your squad booking onto other activities that run at the same day & time slot.

When a Parent or Student now logs in to make their selections, this activity will already be selected for them. They will not be able to amend this choice, and other students won't be able to select this activity as well. You can leave a note that this activity is invitation only, please contact the activity office if you wish to join.
