Understanding your child's learning#
The Parent Portal is a collection of guidance and resources for parents, families and carers.
This year-by-year learning guide covers the New Zealand Curriculum and currently covers Years 1 to 8. We'll be adding more soon.
The guide is structured by year level. Choose your child's level and find ways to understand what they do at school, and how you can support them to achieve what they need to this year.
