ABOUT US
We are a proudly Aboriginal-owned and led company specialising in digital education tools that make teaching and learning easier.
Built by an experienced team of educators and technologists based in Sydney on Gadigal Country, we are passionate about inclusive education and providing simplified tools for teachers.
Having listened first-hand to their stories and understanding the reality of teachers’ experiences when using online resources, we identified that the additional admin workloads were a key barrier to schools adopting digital tools. While governments and the industry are aware of the need to reduce teacher workloads, products that address this problem had been notably absent.
We recognised the need for a solution.
And so, ClassHive was born.
Today, we’re proud to say that we’ve developed a secure and comprehensive management platform designed to store the classroom’s entire suite of digital tools and resources. With better efficiency and enhanced capabilities to collaborate via one platform as a single-sign-on solution, we are proud to have made online learning simpler and more enjoyable.
