In recent years, Heidi has gathered together an outstanding team of professionals to assist at all stages of the development of Learnatic® products. Together, Heidi and her team are dedicated to producing quality learning resources and related products that directly meet the needs of secondary learners during these times of significant change in education.

We aim to firstly identify, through observation and discussions, the key areas that teachers and students recognise as being difficult to master within the time constraints of the secondary school curriculum. We also attempt to identify any factors, academic or otherwise, that are preventing students from learning and performing at their best. The next step is to work towards overcoming these barriers through the creation of innovative and inspiring solutions that complement classroom and home study.

The Learnatic® brand of products is designed to simplify the learning process and provide clear and practical tools that can be used right throughout high school and beyond. Through these products, Steadfast Language & Learning hopes to make a significant contribution to the education of secondary students in Australia and also offer teachers some new ideas to complement and reinforce the valuable work they do in classrooms all over the country every day.

We hope to continue expanding our product range as new resources are researched, tried and tested and so we welcome with gratitude your feedback on not just our current products, but any suggestions or ideas for new products also.
