Communication

Communication  is important to us and we try our best to keep everyone up to date with what is going on at school. We believe in working in partnership with our community so it is important that everyone reads what is sent home in whatever format.

To help you stay in touch here is a reminder of our current communication systems in use at school.

HERO is a critical part of our communication system at school. It can be downloaded free from the app store. It is used to provide quick alerts, cancellations, postponements, and important last minute updates. Anyone with the app is able to access their child’s profile where you are able to keep up to date with your childs learning journey. 

School Newsletter is distributed 2 weekly, on a Friday. This provides an up to date summary of what is going on in our school.  A paper copy may be requested from the school office.

Facebook is used to share photos as well as quick notices or reminders. It can be used to celebrate and share what is happening at school.

School Website This is a static overview of Ngaere School. It will be updated from time to time as things change.

Written Reporting of children’s progress is via mid and end of year reports which are sent home in a paper format. Mid year reports are accompanied by a parent – teacher interview. Other meeting times may be arranged as requested.

There may also be times when a phone call, email or txt is required.
