We are excited to introduce Hero, our new home-school communication platform and free parent app. 

Hero is a secure, easy to use online platform that brings together school communication in one place. It allows kaiako and whānau to connect, share information, and stay up to date anytime, anywhere, using any device. 

Through Hero, you will be able to: 

● Read and comment on updates shared by your child’s kaiako. 

● Notify the school if your child is absent or late and provide a reason. 

● Access links to our school website. 

● Personalise your account with a profile image. 

● Choose how you would like to receive notifications. 

Additional Hero features will be introduced over time as we become more familiar with the platform. Hero will replace your team’s 2026 Facebook page and will also take the place of Seesaw, which has been used in previous years. 

One of the great benefits of Hero is that you only need to create and sign in to your account once, and it will remain with your child throughout their time at Te Kura o Manunui. 

Kaiako can share information with the whole class or communicate directly with individual whānau regarding their tamaiti/child. 

We look forward to using Hero to strengthen communication. For more information about Hero, including how to log in, please visit the Hero website or contact your child’s classroom teacher for assistance.
