You can access our Daily Notices anytime

Although the notices are read out every day during Ako time, sometimes students will not hear them or need them repeated to refresh their memory.  Viewing the Notices via the Portal is a great way to make sure you and your students are not missing anything.

You can access the Portal a couple of ways:

  1. Going to the Portal tab at the top of our website menu
  2. Clicking the link to the Portal below
Go to the Parent Portal

Here is some handy information about how the Portal works and how you can get the best out of it.  Check out the table below for how it all works, or click here to open the pdf form.

Logging into the Portal Go to our website (www.waihicol.school.nz)

In the top right hand corner you will see the tab for the PORTAL

Log in using your unique username and password.  If you need your student’s user name or login details sent to you, please email Jo Howell or Sue Gread in the office – they  will be happy to help you.

Success!  You are now logged into the Parent Portal

For Year 7 – 10 students, by clicking on CURRENT YEAR RESULTS, you will see a curriculum level and comment for each of the areas that your child has learned about this year.

At Waihi College, assessment results of Year 7 – 10 students are marked on the curriculum level they are achieving at. This diagram shows how curriculum levels typically relate to years of school.

In order to show you how your child is progressing within a curriculum level, Waihi College use the following three points to show their progress within the curriculum level:

Basic: this indicates your child is beginning or is at the early stages of learning at this level.

Proficient: this indicates your child is controlling and mastering the criteria at this level for most of the time. They may still need support, but are beginning to independently practise and use their learning at this level.

Advanced: this indicates your child is consistently meeting the criteria at this level.

For Year 11 – 13 students, by clicking on CURRENT YEAR RESULTS, you will see the results from NCEA assessments that your student has completed this year.  You can also click on NCEA SUMMARY which will give you a comprehensive breakdown of the credits that your child has currently got in pursuit of NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3.
