Attendance

Students should ensure they are at school after 8:20am and before 8.45am and leave by 3.30pm. Outside these times students should be under direct supervision of a teacher e.g. working in the Library, sports practice.

By 9.00am staff have electronically marked attendance. By 10:00am if your child is not at school and we have not heard from you, you will receive a text message to let you know your child is not in class. It will be sent to the cellphones of both caregivers if we have two contact numbers.

Please try to let us know of any absences by contacting our Attendance Officer before those link calls are made.

Leave

All requests for special leave should be directed to the Associate or Deputy Principal in writing. Please arrange family holidays during the school holidays. Student progress may be severely hindered if leave is required during term time. Such requests for leave are expected to be the exception rather than the norm. Teachers are not expected to provide work for students in the case of leave being granted. Assessments missed will be rescheduled if possible but this will not always be the case and students may miss opportunities to gain credits in NCEA.

Appointments

When a student needs to leave school they must sign out and in at Student Administration. Verification in the form of a note or a phone call is required from parents/caregivers (please be specific about type of appointment). Medical, dental and other appointments should be made outside school hours whenever possible.
