The My Summary area of the Student Portal is where a student finds their own school information — enrolment summary, timetable, attendance, NCEA progress, published reports, option selections, awards, the school calendar and appointment bookings. Each item appears as a tab, and several tabs only show when the school has the matching feature or setting switched on, so two schools' student portals will not necessarily look the same.

Summary
The Summary tab is the student's own view of their enrolment record. Depending on the school's settings it includes:
- Today's Timetable — the classes running today (with a separate section for classes at outside providers where relevant)
- Subject Attendance YTD — year-to-date attendance by subject
- Medical Conditions — medical conditions and allergies; the school can switch this section off for students in school settings (it is on by default)
- Caregivers — the caregivers linked to the student; also controlled by a school setting (on by default)
- Other Student Details, Custom Categories and Enrolment History at the school
Timetables
The Timetables tab shows the student's own timetable using the same timetable viewer as the staff site, restricted to the student's data. Students can switch between a calendar-style view and the timetable cycle view, move between dates, and print their timetable. Staff-only extras (resource bookings, class lists, course numbers) are hidden in the student portal.

Attendance Summary
The Attendance Summary tab shows the student's attendance record:
- The page opens on a default date range; use the Attendance Date Range control to choose another range, including the previous year.
- The attendance data for the range is displayed on the page, and a Print button produces a printable copy.
- Under Attendance History Export, pick a start and end date and choose Export CSV (or PDF where available) to download the student's attendance history.
NCEA Progress
The NCEA Progress tab is the student's NCEA Student Summary. It leads with a Provisional Credit Summary: Literacy Level 1, Numeracy Level 1, UE Literacy (broken down into English and Māori, unit and achievement standards), UE Numeracy, and progress toward NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3+. The page carries the note that results are provisional only and not official until confirmed by NZQA, and that credits achieved at higher levels can count down toward lower ones.
Below the summary, the student's standards are listed in groups — Achieved Standards, In Progress Standards, and sections for withdrawn and not-achieved standards — showing for each standard its number, internal/external flag, provider, title, class, literacy/numeracy and University Entrance flags, credits, progress and result.

NCEA Credit Summary
The NCEA Credit Summary tab shows the NZQA Confirmed Credit Summary from the NZQA results file — the official picture once results have been returned from NZQA: Literacy and Numeracy Level 1, UE Literacy and UE Numeracy, University Entrance, NCEA levels achieved, highest attainment level and course endorsements, followed by a credits-by-level breakdown (Excellence / Merit / Achieved / Not Achieved for internal and external standards).
Student Report
The Student Report tab gives students their published reports:
- Use the year navigation to pick the reporting year.
- Choose a report from the Report list and select Download PDF.
Where the school uses Attitude to Learning reporting, the page also charts ATL results by class and by category, along with a Tech/Subject report section.
Options
Where the school runs option selections through edge, students choose their option subjects for the coming year on the Options tab:
- The page defaults to next year's options (from mid-year onwards) at the student's next year level.
- Selected Options shows what has been chosen so far, including a counter against the maximum number of options the school allows, and the date the selection window closes.
- Under Change Options, pick from the list of option courses available for the year level — students only see active courses at their own school.
- Compulsory Courses for the year level are listed for information.
- Select Save to record the choices.
The selection section only appears while the school's option window is open — outside the window the page is read-only.

School Calendar and Appointments
- School Calendar — where the school has switched on the Google Calendar option in school settings, this tab embeds the school's Google Calendar so students can see school-wide events.
- Appointments — where the staff appointments feature is enabled for the school, students can see their booked appointments (date, time, session name, who the meeting is with, location and length), book a new appointment by picking a session from the calendar and choosing a slot (with a teacher/course search), and export their appointments.
News Feed and Student Awards
The News Feed menu and the Student Awards tab are covered in their own articles — see "Student News Feed and Student Voice" and "Student Awards in the Student Portal".
