Using Hero - communication between home & school

HERO, our student management system, is the hub for all school communication, keeping us connected and informed!

HERO helps with:

  • Notifying us of absences;
  • Sending out important school notices;
  • Sharing our fortnightly newsletter;
  • Making payments;
  • Granting permissions for trips;
  • Accessing the school calendar;
  • Viewing term dates;
  • Making school bookings; and
  • Connecting to the school website and navigation to School-Related Webpages.

We suggest that whānau download the app and place it on their phone’s home screen. While you can also log into HERO on your laptop, having the app on your phone helps ensure you don’t miss important notifications and reminders!

You can decide whether you receive email or in-app notifications

In case of an emergency school-wide event, we also use SMS text messaging to keep you informed and safe.
