Hero Communication

In 2023 Plimmerton School launched its new communication and reporting system, Hero. 

Hero allows us to build an online environment that reflects our unique context. It enables teachers and whānau 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. 

We are excited about the features that Hero has to offer whānau. These include the ability for parents and caregivers to: 

• read and comment on posts relating to your child’s learning 
• 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 
• manage your school finance account 

Over the upcoming year, teachers will be posting rich content to our Hero software and we are looking forward to sharing this with you to include you in your child’s learning journey. 

Learning Posts 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.
