You will hear us talking about this with you, and with our students.
All students are legally required to attend school every day and it is a shared responsibility to make sure students attend and engage in learning from when they first start school.
You must let the school know if your child is going to be absent or intends to be absent for a portion of the school term for whatever reason, like a tangi or medical procedure. Family holidays or taking time off for extracurricular activities (not organised by school) are not acceptable reasons for being absent.
If you're struggling at home with getting your child to school, talk to us and we can work together. You can also access some resources in the SchoolTV article below. Our school is committed to supporting your child to attend school.
Our school continues to build a culture that fosters attendance every day by having:
Learning Advisors who have strong relationships with students and family.
A school culture that recognises your child and your family for who you are, where you come from and what you value.
A school whānau that takes all practical steps to make sure your child is at school and progressing in their learning.
A school that is safe and welcoming for everyone in our school community.
If you have any attendance queries and issues, please contact us so we can work together.
