Communication between school and home

There is regular communication in a variety of formats.

• The School’s website is the main information platform for our school community. Parents can view the page to see news of up-coming events and past successes, lesson resources and other school related things.
• MyPortal (Parent Portal) can be accessed via a link from the website. By logging in to this secure site parents can view a range of information including their student’s timetable; details of attendance; online reporting; results in school and NCEA assessments; and accounts paid and owing
• Our Student Management System allows us to email a variety of information directly to parents. Reminders about upcoming events are emailed. For this reason it is essential that parent/caregiver email addresses are always up to date. Please notify us promptly of any changes to your contact details.
• Principal’s Forums: Each year the principal invites a random selection of parents from each year level to attend a meeting to provide feedback on what the school is doing well and to identify areas for possible improvement. The results of this feedback are shared by email with all other parents in the year group.
• Newsletters: WGC sends regular newsletters to our school community, celebrating successes and highlighting important information.
