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 (episode available from 1:30pm 6/5/2025)
- Two information sheets are attached to this email – one for schools and one for parents, caregivers and whānau
In my email of Friday 2 May, I expressed my thanks to you for your dedication to your students. Today, I also 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
