CUSTOMER VOICE
YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS.
Don’t just take our word for it.
Here’s what school teachers, principals and deputy principals have to say.
Jan McDonald

“Pluto has saved hours of work! I would recommend this no matter the size of your school. It is flexible and so easy to flick from reading groups to maths to writing etc a resource worth every cent in my view.”
Verity Harlick

“Pluto is an easy to use system. So much easier than our old method. No more paper placements of children and 263 post it notes on my office wall! Our whole management team has said how easy the system is and how smooth this year’s class placements have been.”
Pam Crichton

“Pluto has saved me hours of work. It took teachers only 15-20 minutes to complete students’ cards. It will be an asset and time-saver for whoever does the classes for the next year. Thank you.”
Gavin BeerePrincipal

“I wholeheartedly endorse this product. The process now takes a fraction of the time to complete. Pluto’s greatest strength is in reducing unintended errors and inconsistencies. This reduces stress on teachers and students as they set for the new school year”
Anne Cato

“Pluto was very easy to use and definitely achieved what we wanted. It makes a job I have done manually for years so much quicker – saving me a great deal of time as it replicated what I was doing manually. It’s also great that it is a fair price for schools. I have spread the word to other schools and would like to thank Pluto for great support and a great product!”
Deborah Malcolm

“Using Pluto was easy from setting up the teachers, to teachers filling in the student cards and then generating possible solutions. Once a solution had been created it was very easy to see key information such as positive combinations of students, students who are best in separate classes, etc.”
Jo Wright

“Pluto is incredibly easy to use and makes the complicated, demanding and very important task of class placement, at the end of the busy term 4, so much easier.”
Rochelle Foster

“This is the most fair and equal allocation of children to classes I have seen. It takes so many elements into account to ensure the best placement for both children and teachers.”
Stephen GradyDeputy Principal

“Pluto takes the time and stress out of a difficult job. The time leaders and teachers put into class placements before Pluto can now be distributed elsewhere at this crazy time of year! The solutions that were generated were very successful, as Pluto takes into account so many factors, leading to balanced classes and less stressed out teachers and leaders!”
Raewyn Nicholson

“Just thinking of the hours that we spent last year manually sorting this! Being able to see at a glance on the solutions all that info of differing groups. Amazing. Thanks guys.”
Jill Dyet

“We have had such positive comments from teachers this year about the make up of their classes. Everyone without exception has been very happy, and we are really looking forward to using the programme again this year.”
Rachael Taylor

“It is a must have. It has been a great tool to use to manage 1000 students into their best class for the following year. We love being able to see multiple iterations and to be able to move individual students.”
Barb DysartCo-Principal

“One of the things we liked is you can maintain the privacy around the students stories. It isn’t shared in an open forum.”
Anna-Marie McAleer

“USE it!! I have been doing this process for years and Pluto has been a game changer. We are a big school. We have a lot of info to cross check and ‘get right’ – Pluto has taken the stress away.”
Vicki Pettit

“A great tool that significantly reduced the time spent on class placements. Solves the problem of cross-checking that all requests and requirements have been catered for.”
Genee Crowley

“Pluto is a great initiative that makes the setting up of new classes a simple and effective process.”
Chris SteffensenDP, St Joseph’s Upper Hutt

“I found Pluto an outstanding and easy to use product. It is such a smart and simple system that eliminates any frustration about grouping children. Whether schools make up their classes through academic results, culturally, gender or year group, Pluto was able to quickly filter these groups with an even spread across the classes. We often get parent requests for class placements or for students to be kept with or away from other children. Pluto quickly filtered these students across the classes but maintained the even spread of academic abilities I had wanted.”
Judith Roberts

“Pluto takes the emotional side of placement out of the equation.”
Sarah Stock

“Pluto makes class placements transparent and takes the stress out of human error.”
Brigette Helwes

“Pluto is way more efficient than the manual system – you can see all the information about the children that you need at a glance.”
Helen Reed

“Great time saving and efficient way to organise classes with teacher voice heard.”
Kelly Slater-Brown

“It saves a lot of time in a big school!”
Claire Gubb

“Pluto has been magic. It’s been great to see so clearly the different categories as we have tweaked classes.”
Nicola Eley

“As first time users we have really enjoyed the experience and how easy it has been.”
Susan Delaney

“Great to view and see the positive and negative relationships. This allows for easier viewing when considering moving children.”
Heather Walker

“This program has made all the difference to our stress levels at the end of the year. In the past, we spent hours with sticky notes trying to make equal classes with a mix of behaviour, ability and gender. Now the teachers fill in their cards, the Senco puts in any special needs and we press the button. Thank you so much Pluto!!”
Robyn Harding

“I cannot speak highly enough of this site and service. Our teachers found their part quick to complete – it was all online and easily accessible from any computer. I was able to sort the students into classes using a range of criteria. The system allowed many options and composite classes were easily catered for as well. At Dawson, we highly recommend Pluto and we will certainly be using the service again.”
Nicola Neethling

“Pluto provided us with a comprehensive platform to easily create class lists. It gave reliable student information, was user-friendly and allowed us to group our students ensuring that we had an even spread of behaviour, gender and special educational needs. Pluto allowed us to create class lists with more accuracy and ease. I would definitely recommend this platform to other schools.”
Christine Pasfield

“We have absolutely loved using Pluto. It was so easy.”
