We're thrilled to announce that our comprehensive Hero Finance Kit has received the official seal of approval from the NSW Department of Education as an Administration Marketplace Panel for Schools (AMPS) provider! 

Created by educators and trusted by hundreds of schools across NZ & the globe for more than 8 years, we are excited to see our powerful finance functionalities touch down in NSW. With finance now loaded in the toolkit, NSW schools can choose Hero as their all-in-one, DoE AMPS-approved platform! 

Hero makes learning and school management a breeze, with syllabus-aligned student learning, reporting, communication, billing, and administration in one, user-friendly system. Empower student growth, foster strong connections between home and school, and streamline systems and workflows.

- Rebecca Dowe, Principal, Carroll Public School
