Did you know you can quickly & easily send absentee notifications to us via the Hero app?

Our communication and reporting system, Hero has had an upgrade! For our new families, Hero is an online sharing platform with complementary smart app.

Hero enables teachers, students, and families to view and share content anytime, anywhere on any device. The software is secure, easy to use and brings together all school-related information in one place.

With Hero, you have the ability to:

• read and comment on posts relating to your child’s learning
• create posts about your child's achievements, interests and experiences from home,
• view information on your child’s progress and goals,
• read and comment on school notices sent to the class or groups your child is part of - 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

Learning posts combined with curriculum information and goal-setting 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.

Throughout the year, teachers will post rich content to our Hero software. We are looking forward to sharing this with you, and including you in your child’s learning journey.
