About Te Rito

Ākonga and learners' information is taonga and belongs to them. Together we're ensuring it follows them throughout their education

Every connection counts

Schools and the Ministry capture learner information in different ways, using different systems. Te Rito brings it all together so it can be shared safely and easily when students move from one school to another.

Connecting your school’s SMS to Te Rito means information is available for other connected schools to access from the day of enrolment, even if they use a different SMS.

Information following the learner

Imagine all the possibilities if ākonga and learner information could follow them throughout their education. 

Te Rito supports a full understanding of learners' needs by connecting together their attendance, achievement and participation information. 

Te Rito:

  • Connects schools, learners and their whānau with learning information from SMSs, Ministry and other systems.
  • Enables an end-to-end digital record for every school-enrolled learner in New Zealand.
  • Informs teaching and learning, and helps school leaders make evidence-based decisions.
  • Streamlines admin and reporting – reducing manual, double-handling of information.
