We are delighted to launch our new communication and reporting system, HERO. HERO will replace ETAP, SchoolLoop and SeeSaw. Kindo stays as our financial system.

HERO allows schools to build an online environment that reflects our unique context. It enables teachers, students, and families to view and share content anytime, anywhere on any device. The software brings together all school-related information in one place.  HERO will replace ETAP, SchoolLoop and SeeSaw and from Friday, 18th of February we will no longer be using SchoolLoop. (Kindo stays as our financial system.)

Your child’s learning journey in posts combined with curriculum information will form an online report designed to build year on year so that over time you will have access to written posts, images, video, work samples, and helpful resources all in one place and we will be live from midterm 2.

We are excited about the features that HERO has to offer families. These include the ability for parents and caregivers to

• read and comment on posts relating to your child’s learning

• view information on your child’s progress and goals

• respond to school notices such as surveys and trip permission requests

• view school term dates

• view a school calendar of events

• notify the school if your child is absent or late

• navigate to other school-related webpages

• customise your account by adding a profile image

• select how you wish to receive notifications (we recommend you turn on push notifications)
