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.

For information about Hero including how to log in, go to Hero for Parents or contact Sally Grylls-Thomas at sally@teaomarama.school.nz.
