Dear Parents and Caregivers

We hope that you and your whānau are well.  We have a lot happening at BMPS between now and the end of the term.  Below you will find out more detail.

Tamariki Reports

On Tuesday 28 June, you will receive a notification on your phone from HERO.  When you log in, you will be able to access your child/children’s mid-year report.  

You will need HERO on your phone or computer.  If you do not have this, go to the following link and follow the instruction.  Alternatively, bring your phone to our office and we can help you:

Community Consultation

As part of our current local curriculum design process, we would like you to complete a survey, so that we can gather your thoughts and opinions on some aspects of our school vision, our teaching and learning programmes and also about family & whānau engagement. Please use the QR code or link below to begin the survey.

Your voice is important to us. We thank you in advance for your contributions.

New App

BMPS is launching a new app.  The purpose is to:

• Make it easier for whānau to inform our school if your child is going to be absent.

• Make it easier for you to access our newsletters

• Make it easier for you to receive notifications in the event of an emergency at BMPS

To download the app please go to the App/Play store and search for KiwiSchools Connect. Once downloaded you can select Bairds Mainfreight. In the settings you can adjust the categories that you wish to be subscribed to.

Alternatively, you can scan the QR code below or click this link 

Please note, that you will still need the HERO app to access your child/children’s learning.
