Landfall Education

Landfall.

Work smarter, not harder. From data.

Extraordinarily powerful tools that feel calm, intuitive, and effortless. Educators capture an observation once; we turn it into the snapshot, the relief brief, the conference one-pager, the report sentence, the handover note. One input, many outputs. Less paperwork, more teaching. Better outcomes for every child.

Connected platform

Every child deserves a teacher who knows their story.

Seven hundred years ago, Polynesian navigators crossed the Pacific by reading stars, ocean swells, and the flight of birds — carrying an entire culture's knowledge in memory. Landfall is built for the professionals who carry that same kind of responsibility today: kaiako, learning support coordinators, classroom teachers, and the specialists who work alongside them.

The platform is built around one principle: information about a child's learning should travel with them, not get lost in transitions. Like the waka that carried people, provisions, and purpose across the ocean — the record grows, the supports accumulate, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Built in Aotearoa New Zealand, for Aotearoa New Zealand. Te Tiriti-informed, strength-based, and grounded in what kaiako actually do.

Six tools.
One voyage.

Each tool is built for a specific moment in a child's journey — the way navigators read different signs at different stages of a voyage. Together, they form a connected record from early childhood through to the end of secondary school.

Learning Needs.

The waka that carries what matters most.

For learners who need extra support, a longitudinal register spanning Year 1 to Year 13. Strategies, accommodations, and context — ensuring that what one teacher learns about a child is never lost when that child moves on.

Horizon.

What the navigator watches for.

Years 11–13 specialisation and future-focused pathways. Student voice is central — every learner leaves with a fundamental understanding of their best post-education pathway.

One place to see every child.

Polynesian navigators read the Southern Cross to find their way home. The Dashboard reads assessment, learning needs, support, and analytics to find every child's best path forward.
