An update from the Minister - New Parent Portal

Kia ora koutou,

I’m delighted to announce the launch of a new Parent Portal – an online resource designed to support families to play their part in their child’s learning.

Education is a partnership of what happens in the classroom and what happens at home. Parents, caregivers, and whānau play an important role in supporting their child’s learning and development. The new webspace is designed to make it easier for parents, caregivers, and whānau to access clear and up-to-date information on the school curriculum, assessment practices, and ways they can complement their child’s learning.

• The Parent Portal can be accessed here

• The latest episode of Melissa Chan-Green’s School Shorts podcast explains more about the portal

• An information sheet is attached to this article 

I want to acknowledge the parents, caregivers, and whānau who continue to play a significant role in the education of their tamariki. Together, we can support our young people to be the best they can be.

Ngā mihi nui,

Erica Stanford

Minister of Education
