We are delighted to launch our new communication and reporting system, HERO – an online sharing platform with a complementary parent app. HERO allows schools to customise an online environment that enables teachers, students, and parents 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. With HERO, you can:
Read and comment on posts relating to your child’s learning
View information on your child’s progress
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 and the school calendar
Notify the school if your child is absent or late
Customise your account by adding a profile image
Select how you wish to receive notifications
Learning posts combined with curriculum information and regular assessments will form an online report designed to build year-on-year so that over time you will have access to written posts, images, videos, work samples, and helpful resources all in one place.
We are asking parents and whānau to download and login to the HERO App this term as we will be posting details of 2026 class placements using HERO in the last week of term. Then, from the start of 2026, staff and students will be posting rich content to our HERO software. We are looking forward to sharing this with you, including you in your child’s learning journey.
For information, including how to log in, go to the Hero website or contact reception@arahoe.school.nz

New World New Lynn supports Arahoe!
New World New Lynn supports Arahoe!
We are excited to be part of a generous fundraising initiative with New World New Lynn. Every time you shop there, New World will donate a small percentage of what you spend back to Arahoe School. Every time you shop, you need to tell the checkout operator that you are part of the Arahoe School fundraiser and they will print you a duplicate receipt. This is the one to post into the box near the exit of the store. Still not sure how it works? This video explains everything!
So remember to tell your friends and family shopping at New World New Lynn to ask for those duplicate receipts to post in our box! Huge thanks to Dave Cullen and the team at New World for this generous initiative.
Haere mai ki a koutou katoa – a warm welcome to Arahoe School.
We are a vibrant and dynamic multicultural school in New Lynn, West Auckland. We like to give our ākonga/students every opportunity to explore, grow and succeed in all areas – not just the core curriculum areas of literacy and maths. We are passionate about science, history, technology and the arts as well as physical pursuits, and our students are given a wonderful variety of contexts in which to find out how to be the best version of themselves. Diversity is welcome here and every student's uniqueness is valued, nurtured and celebrated.
I am lucky enough to work with a team of outstanding educators and support staff, backed by a talented and dedicated School Board.
I look forward to seeing your child, you, and your whānau around our school over your time here.
Ngā mihi nui / warm regards
