Our Story

Helix was created by our team who recognised the need for New Zealand secondary schools to have better tools to manage their administration and operations effectively. We have worked closely with New Zealand schools and connected with software companies around the world, to find out what we need to deliver, to truly help our schools. Our name and logo symbolise fundamental ideas that guide our vision: interconnectedness, evolution, innovation, and simplicity.  ​​​​​​​


It is our mission to provide schools with tools to simplify tasks and streamline processes - to reduce the administrative workload and enable more time to be dedicated to the growth and success of our ākonga.

Interconnectedness

Relationships play a vital role in a student’s learning and growth.  Our platform is designed to strengthen communication and collaboration within school communities. Versatile communication tools are included to allow staff, students and caregivers to easily connect. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​The idea of interconnectedness has shaped not only the design of our platform, but also how our team operates. Connecting and building partnerships with our customers is a priority for us. Since the beginning, we have worked closely with schools and we will continue to do so, to ensure that we are delivering the system you need.

Evolution & Innovation

Helix has emerged in response to the ongoing change in the education sector and world around us. Schools need an adaptable solution to keep up with these changes and the new challenges and needs that they bring. This is why evolution and innovation are important elements in our design. Helix is built using modern, cloud-based technology that provides flexibility for ongoing product development and updates.  Our culture of learning drives our committment to continuous learning and to listening to our customers. We are here to evolve with you and help you navigate these changes.

Simplicity

Ultimately, simplicity is at the core of our vision. With a team of former secondary school teachers,  we have firsthand insight into the heavy administrative workload that teachers encounter and the frustration of navigating slow, ineffective systsems.  We aim to transform the complexity of school management into a simplified and streamlined experience. Just as the helix shape organises intricate information into a clear and cohesive structure, our platform is designed to bring together all of the essential tools for school management into an intuitive system.​​​​​​​
