What our People Say
I joined d6 in 2021, inspired by my passion for education and the chance to make a difference for teachers and learners. Starting as a marketing coordinator, I have since grown into leadership, first in Marketing and now leading Brand and Ecosystem Development through strategic partnerships. What stands out most to me is the incredible support I have received from leaders and colleagues, who have invested in my growth and shaped my career journey. I am proud of the impact our marketing work has had on schools and the innovation we continue to drive. Looking ahead, I am excited by the opportunities for growth and the potential to create even greater positive change. At d6, there is always room to learn, innovate, and make a bigger impact — and that makes the journey truly inspiring. Donata Hart - Divisional Owner Brand and Ecosystem Development
What our People Say
I started freelancing for d6 just before the merger and later joined full time as a Senior Graphic Designer. Since then, I have had the chance to sharpen my creativity, tackle diverse projects, and solve exciting design challenges. The support of my teammates has been invaluable, they share ideas, back me up under pressure, and make even the busiest deadlines manageable. A highlight for me was creating the Schoolscape event kit, where I got to see our brand come alive beyond the screen. Looking to the future, I am eager to step into a mentoring role, guiding junior designers and growing into the “Senior” part of my title. For me, d6 is a place of creativity, growth, and teamwork, and I cannot wait to keep building on that. Sean Beukes - Senior Graphic Designer
What our People Say
I joined d6 to do work that truly matters, and it has been just that. Starting as a junior developer, I have since grown into an intermediate role, taking on challenges that stretched my skills and boosted my confidence. The culture of support has made the biggest difference, managers who encourage ownership, teammates who collaborate, and an environment where learning is constant. A highlight was building and launching the Parent Portal, which proved the power of teamwork and innovation. I am also proud of my contributions to projects like Online Re-registrations and the d6plus AI insights. These initiatives remind me that what we do has real impact in schools. What excites me most is knowing this is only the beginning, with so much more growth and contribution ahead.
Who We Are
At d6 we are all about increasing the effectiveness of schools. We are passionate about improving the administrative and communication processes within schools, to increase their operational effectiveness and allow them to put their energy where it is needed most - in the classrooms!
What We Do
We develop software products to help the schools in their daily operations. Our products are developed on a pretty typical LAMP stack with all of the usual supporting technologies, but we do have a pretty cool configuration to provide scalability and resilience, including memcache, load balancing, replication and fail-over to make sure we are rock solid.
Our primary focus is on the following:
- A school administration system which provides all of the administrative functions that come with managing a school - capturing family and staff information, configuring the curriculum, recording marks, attendance & discipline, calculating progression & retention, generating report cards and other reporting, managing finances and communication. This is a fully integrated product with all of the various modules interacting to provide a seamless, holistic solution for the school.
- A stand-alone communication system which allows the schools to communicate directly with their parents via mobile and desktop clients.
We try to keep things as agile as possible, and work on a continuous release process to make sure we deliver the most value possible in the shortest time. We are always trying to improve what we do and how we do it, and the culture is inclusive - we are in this together and we should all be part of creating the solution and enjoying the journey.
