Note to New Zealand Schools: Bi-Annual Report PDFs are not intended to meet the Ministry of Education (MoE) parent reporting changes required for 2026. Reporting to parents for 2026 is currently under development; these bi-annual reports are provided as an on-demand way to print existing report content to PDF, and the structure, formatting, and information included are based on your school’s settings at the time of generation.
A student's current year report page is a summary of all the learning content from the start of the year up to the current date. Schools can decide which pages' content will appear on this summary by making the page visible on the student report page - see Editing Page Settings
Bi-annual Reports are a printable summary of the report page that schools are able to download and save/print. They are captured automatically twice a year, or created on demand by a school's Hero Administrator. Bi-annual Reports use the report page settings of the school at the time the report was generated.
VIEWING BI-ANNUAL REPORTS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL STUDENT

AUTO-GENERATED REPORTS
Auto-generated reports are created by Hero twice a year to capture bi-annual reports for each student. Generally, reports will be created at the start of the July and December school holidays for the relevant date range based on the school calendar.
Here you will see a list of any available reports, including the year they are for, the specific dates of the report period and the date that the report was generated on. The report content will reflect the settings of your Hero site on the date that the report was generated.
- Click the PDF icon next to the report that you would like to view, print or download. Your report will open in a new browser tab. To print or download the report, use your browser options.
2. The report includes the following data, if it was included on your school reporting settings on the date the report was generated:
- a cover page including the School name and logo, student name, profile image, year level at the date the report was captured and the dates of the report period.
-
the report description as found in 'What can parents see?'
-
an attendance summary table for the report period.
-
Learning posts - media (videos, slide shows etc) or files attached to the learning posts will be displayed via a QR code. If viewing the report online, you are able to click on this to view the content.
- Curriculum content progress, goals and supporting comments. Progress is shown as a table, rather than the graphs available in the Hero app.
Note: If you see a refresh button in place of the PDF button, there may have been an error during the generation of this report. Click the button to generate a new PDF report for this period.
ON-DEMAND REPORTS
A Hero Administrator also has the option to generate a report for a specified report period on demand if required. On-demand reports will include content consistent with your report settings as at the time of generating the report.
Once generated, the report snapshot will be available for all staff members to view, print or download.
1. Navigate to the student's Bi-Annual Reports as per steps 1-3 above.
2. Scroll down to On-Demand and either choose a term based timeframe for the current year, or enter the start and end date for the report period you require. You can type in the dates or click the calendar button to select dates. Click RESET to remove dates.
3. Click GENERATE NOW
4. Your report will open in a new browser tab. To print or download the report, use your browser options.
The newly generated report will also appear in a table below and will become available to all staff members. Click the PDF button to view, download or print your report as per steps 4-5 above.
