I support schools with Hero: A Dept approved SMS & Digital Portfolio for Students/Teachers/Parents, where the learning becomes visible & students have agency.

[Hero @heroforschools]

Middle Harbour Public School wanted a more connected approach – one that unified teaching, learning, leadership, and caregiver partnerships.
With Hero, they replaced scattered systems with a single, purpose-built platform designed to support:
📚 Curriculum planning and implementation
📊 Data insights
📣 Communication
✅ Cohesion, clarity, and confidence

Principal Laura Barry calls it “transformational.”

“Our standards of what we want to achieve now are so high because of the work that we've done with Hero.”

With a mission to close the communication gap between home & school, Vineyard PS embarked on a heroic journey of doing just that, and more – they’re now ‘excelling’ across all areas of their School Excellence Plan ⚡

Hear from Kerry De Jager (relieving Principal) and Zoe Fraser (Deputy Principal), as they unpack their ‘why’, the considerations behind choosing Hero, the successes, and everything in between!

What do schools love about Hero?💡

Amongst the buzz of conversations happening at last week’s Trans-Tasman Principals’ Conference, we caught up with a handful of our super school leaders who shared their thoughts!

Incredibly fortunate to support schools who value having a secure, intuitive, and time-saving platform to connect their community to what’s happening in the classroom ⚡

Thank you to all those who stopped by the Hero booth to say hello – we loved connecting with you!
