COMMUNICATING with WHĀNAU

HERO
Hero is our student management system (SMS) and we use this system to store all of our information about every single child at our school - everything from home address and parent contact numbers to assessment data and medical information.

It is also your window into the classroom. At any time you can track your child’s progress.

The Hero app provides caregivers with a window into the classroom, unlocking a world of rich sharing, tracking, reporting and communications. Hero’s sign in is safe and secure, the school controls the access.
