Please note the guidelines below regarding reporting student absences.

If your child is going to be absent for any reason please call the school office (4667251) and leave a message on the answer phone, or email absences@balmacewen.school.nz 

If your child has to leave the school during the day for any reason, please email their classroom teacher and absences@balmacewen.school.nz  with the reason for their absence, the time they are leaving and estimated time of return. You will need to collect your child from the school office. Please do not go directly to classrooms or ask your child to meet you outside school.

All students must report to the office before leaving the school grounds and again on their return.

Students are not to go home at lunch time without prior permission.
