Saint Joseph Convent School is the third private Catholic girls' school under the Sisters of Saint Paul de Chartres in Thailand. It was founded on December 5, 1907, by Mother Saint Xavier, the Superior of the congregation, on a 16-rai, 3-ngan, and 68-square-wa plot of land within the Bangkok Mission area. The school is located on Convent Road, Silom Subdistrict, Bang Rak District, Bangkok.

Saint Joseph Convent School in Bangkok is a private school that utilizes the School Bright school management system. In the academic year 2023, approximately 4,979 students and over 374 staff members used the system. The school implements School Bright for various administrative and operational tasks, including the academic management system, student affairs system, student registration system, leave management system, attendance tracking system, and digital cafeteria system, among others.

- Digital Canteen System is a digital solution for school cafeterias and stores, utilizing Smart Canteen devices to enhance convenience and efficiency for students and staff. Payments can be made seamlessly using QR codes, student ID cards, mobile applications, and PromptPay QR codes linked to banking systems, allowing students to pay for food and school supplies quickly and easily. This system promotes a cashless society within the school.

- Academic System allows for systematic and accurate recording and management of student, teacher, and curriculum data. It reduces paper usage and resource consumption in data management. The system enables teachers to efficiently plan lessons and schedule classes, while also allowing for flexible adjustments to teaching plans based on students' needs and abilities.

- Student Affairs System helps manage student-related activities and information in an organized and systematic manner. It includes school activities, behavior tracking, and facilitates smooth communication between students, teachers, and parents through notifications, schedules, and relevant announcements.

- Attendance System helps save time in recording and verifying the presence of both students and teachers. Attendance data is systematically recorded and stored in a database, allowing for quick and easy retrieval when needed.

- Leave Management System allows teachers and students to submit leave requests through the application, with the school having the ability to define authorized approvers. This system reduces paper usage for leave requests. Users can view their leave history and statistics through the application. The school can set leave limits per term or year and can view and export leave reports at any time.

The School Bright team had the opportunity to introduce the Digital Cafeteria System to teachers, students, and staff at Saint Joseph Convent School. This system enhances convenience, reduces waiting times for change, and minimizes cash usage, promoting a cashless society within the school. The School Bright Digital Cafeteria System significantly saves time for everyone in the school community.
