Staying in Contact

Keeping parents and caregivers and our wider school community is extremely important to us and there are a number of ways we do that. As much as possible we will stay in touch with you electronically. Your student's mentor, dean or teacher may contact you directly and the school will send out emails, permission slips and other information to the details we have on file for you. It is vital that you advise us if your contact details change for any reason, whether you change addresses or update your mobile number or email address. You can send new or updated contact information to info@kaipara.school.nz at any time.

School Apps

School Apps is a simple, effective and convenient mobile app for communication between school, students and whanau. You can receive school notifications directly to your phone, let us know if your child is going to be absent, access the parent portal, daily notices and the school calendar, as well as contact staff directly.

There are three easy steps to access School Apps:

Download SchoolAppsNZ from your play store or Apple store
Select Kaipara College as your school
Choose the alerts you would like to receive

School Website

On our site you will find useful information from across the school as well as contact details, access to the parent portal and information for parents of senior students on senior course selection. For those who do not have social media, all posts made from the main office will also be loaded on our "News and Events" page (sitting under 'News').

Parent Portal

Real time information about the College, your child’s progress and the school’s daily notices as well as electronic permission slips can all be located through the parent portal, accessed via the school website. It is our way to communicate immediate and accurate information home.

Parents and caregivers will be issued with a logon and password to the portal. These will be made available to all new parents at the start of each school year.

To access the portal head to the School Apps landing page or the navigation bar on the top right of our school website as shown in the image below.

Social Media

We utilise Facebook extensively as well as Instagram to communicate with our school community about events, successes and important details about day to day school life.
