Kia ora Parents and Caregivers

From today, parents are able to access the new school app 'Hero'. Instructions on how to get connected are included below.

With the 'Hero' app, parents can do the following:

• Report absences (much more easily than the previous app)
• Receive learning/celebration posts about your child (this replaces Seesaw)
• Receive notifications
• View the school calendar
• See a graphic of your child's attendance
• Access the school website (via link)
• Access our school policies website (user name: onekawa password: pipi)
• Receive urgent text messages from the school

In the coming months you will be able to make payments and view your school account balance. We will let you know when this feature becomes available.

If you have any issues, please make contact with us in the office.

Have a fun weekend!

Children, in house teams, will complete tabloid type activities in large 'wagon wheels'.

Children are encouraged to come dressed in their house colours.

This is a really fun event and we hope you can make it!

We have now discontinued using Seesaw. Sharing children's learning will now be shared on the new 'Hero' app.

You are able to download your child's previous learning from Seesaw. Please copy and paste the following link into your internet browser for instructions on how to go about doing so:
