Hero Reporting Posts (Formal Progress)

Reporting posts are formal, individual comments specifically about your child’s progress in relation to the New Zealand Curriculum.

• What they include: These posts describe what your child has achieved, any challenges they have faced, their mindset towards the subject, and how they are progressing overall.

• Next Steps: For Mathematics and Literacy, every post will clearly identify a specific next learning step to help you understand how to support your child's growth.

• Visuals: Most reporting posts will be attached to an artefact, such as a photo of their work, a slideshow, or a video, so you can see the learning in action.

• Frequency: You will receive three reporting posts per term, with two posts in Term 1.

2026 Reporting Schedule

To ensure a balanced view of the curriculum, our formal reporting follows this seasonal focus:

• Term 1: Health, School Values, and a General Comment (social/behaviour/work ethic).

• Term 2: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics, including Overall Teacher Judgments (OTJs) shown through progress charts.

• Term 3: Two Conceptual Curriculum areas (e.g., The Arts or Science) and a General Comment focused on school values and vision.

• Term 4: Reading, Writing, and Mathematics, including year-end progress charts (OTJs).

• Each term, your child’s attendance figures are available via Hero.

• Learning Conversations will take place mid year, which involves a meeting between you, your child and their teacher.

Learning Journals & Sharing Posts (Informal Updates)

In addition to formal reporting, we use Sharing Posts to celebrate ongoing learning. These are often student-led and offer a less formal look at what is happening in the classroom.

• Juniors: A minimum of 2 posts per term, plus weekly emails to parents (often including photos).

• Middles: 2–3 posts per term, weekly information emails, and fortnightly emails containing photos.

• Seniors: 3–4 posts per term, with fortnightly information emails and photos shared directly via the learning journal.

Proactive Communication

We believe in a ‘no surprises’ approach.  If a student is not making the expected progress, teachers will contact parents directly to discuss support rather than waiting for a scheduled reporting post.
