Teacher Only Day- Friday 11th November
A reminder that school will be closed for instruction next Friday 11th November. During the day teachers will be working hard to upskill themselves around our new digital reporting format using our new Learning Management System (LMS) Hero. Digital reporting is a sustainable option, which provides specific curriculum information and students' next steps in a user friendly format. Information has been displayed in our newsletter over the last few weeks around downloading the Hero app.
The Teacher Only Day is an Accord Teacher Only Day, allocated to us from the Ministry of Education as part of our Collective Agreement.
Please note: Kids club will not be operating on this day.
We thank you for your support and cooperation.

HERO Digital Reports
Welcome to the start of Term 4!
This term we will be producing our very first digital end of year reports on HERO.
For this we need each parent to have their own email registered with us. You don’t need to use the email for anything else, you just need your own email to sign into the app on your phone. One of the fantastic things about HERO is that it is designed specifically as an app to work on phones and is the best way to access it. On the day that reports are sent it will be right there on your HERO app. On the report it will show you how you can download and print the report if you are wanting to, however it will always sit in their HERO profile for you.
The Hero app enables teachers and students to share information about a student’s learning, progress, and achievement to support learning and improve student outcomes.
It provides a platform for promoting student agency and building a strong partnership between the student, their teacher/s, and the student’s family.
Once you have downloaded HERO, open it and click on “new user”.
Next enter the email you have registered with us under your name, set your password and then either enjoy or let us know if there are any issues.

Room 7 Halloween Art
First the background was created with pastel. Students then created and drew their own spooky house on black paper. After cutting it out the houses were stuck on the back ground.
We think they turned out pretty effective !

Morrinsville A.T.C Recruitment Day
Join us for our Recruitment Day on the 13th of November to learn all about what we do at 31 SQN Morrinsville ATC. Our local ATC Unit is holding a fun day to introduce teenagers of the Piako District to our unique and exciting youth organisation. Recruitment is aimed at all teenagers aged between 13-15 years of age, with our cadets ranging in age from 13-19.
The Air Training Corps (ATC), part of the New Zealand Cadet Forces is supported by - but not a part of - the New Zealand Defence Force. We strive to assist youth to develop their passion and skills to become tomorrow’s leaders, learning valuable life skills such as self discipline, commitment, work ethic, teamwork and motivation. We have parade nights on a Wednesday and weekend activities such as hiking, bushcraft, target shooting, drill, flying and much more. We would be thrilled to see new faces. Join us at our unit 35-37 Lorne St, Morrinsville.
