Celebrate the progress in everyday moments.
Progress looks different for every learner. Hero flexes to your context, helping you capture and celebrate learning in ways that matter to your community.
See the whole picture
Every learner, in one view
See progress, wellbeing and engagement across your whole school in one place, so no student's story is scattered across systems or stuck in a silo.
Evidence-informed leadership
Build a clear picture of learning across the school to support strategic planning and inclusive practice.
Data you can actually use
Easily identify trends, supporting real, evidence-based conversations with your team.
One complete platform
No more separate systems, or paper going home in the bag. Learning, communication and admin come together in one connected platform, with built-in DoE sync.
Capture learning in the moment
Catch progress as it happens
Quickly capture and share photos, videos, and work samples through Hero, as part of everyday teaching, including progress toward ILP goals.
Assessment that fits your context
The assessments you rely on don't always fit standard tools. Hero is flexible enough to hold them all, from literacy and numeracy to alternative communication to behavioural data, in one place.
Simple, efficient family communication
Share learning and message families in one secure place, so staying in touch takes moments, not multiple tools.
Real data to guide next steps
Keep observations and progress data together to support assessment, planning, and discussion with peers and AP,C&Is.
Share the moments that matter
A window into the classroom
Photos, videos and work samples give families a real view of their child's learning and the moments they'd otherwise miss.
Know what's happening
Families can stay close to their child's education with messages, updates, learning progress, school admin and more in one app.
A shared story
Families build a clear picture of their child's progress over time, feeling reassured, involved and celebrating the wins.
Spark conversations at home
Seeing everyday classroom moments turn "How was school today?" into a real conversation about what their child learned.
One complete solution
Everything in one place, for every learner
Specialist settings often end up stitching together separate tools for sharing learning, family communication, administration, finance and student management.
Hero brings it all together into one platform. And, because Hero flexes to every school context, support units and mainstream classes can share it too. One connected place, for every learner, however they learn.

Why Five Islands School chose Hero
Hear how Five Islands School in NSW uses Hero to keep parents connected, giving them a window into their child's daily learning and progress towards goals.
"My kids are already saying, 'Can you take a photo to show my parents?'"
“Everything in one place that builds a picture of our students and their individual needs."
“Using Hero, teachers can see all information about that learner so that they are able to better understand and meet their needs. When children may not be accessing the curriculum in the traditional way, Hero provides us an opportunity to share how they’re doing in relation to the goals they’re working on."
Knights Stream School
Leigh Hurford, Associate Principal
“It's made a huge difference with communication having a child with additional needs."
"I can see that she is happy at school and that she is learning things. Everything is communicated so quickly and professionally - now I actually know in real time what's happening with my daughter."
