Attendance

Caregivers are asked to contact the College to explain their student’s absence/s by either phoning the College Office on 06 3768344 or writing a note explaining the student’s absence on their return to school.

If the student has been away for three consecutive day for reasons of illness, a medical certificate must be produced.

Absences from school for reasons other than illness or bereavement must be applied for in advance through a letter to the Principal.

Patterns of poor attendance may result in referrals made to agencies such ROCK ON Truancy Service, Te Taiwhenua o Heretaunga Attendance Service, Oranga Tamariki and Police Youth Aid.
