At Puketapu School, we use an online platform called Hero to share student progress and achievement, as well as communicate with parents.
Parents download the free Hero app to their phone’s home screen and keep an eye out for the notification icon meaning there is something to read which relates to their child.
Hero replaces the traditional written twice per year reporting format, as we see reporting not as an event, but as an ongoing dialogue between home and school. Teachers will update learning goals for your child throughout the year and our Year 4-8 students have access to their Hero accounts so they can see and evidence their learning goals.
We use Hero to send out all email communication to our parents and you can also access your current financial statement, give permission for trips and outings, sign up for sports teams, report absences and check the school calendar.
