HOLIDAYS DURING TERM TIME

Thank you to everyone who has been notifying the school in writing if your child is away during term time for more than three days. It is important that the office receives confirmation of this from a parent, including your child’s date of return to school. It is important to note that we are required by law to use Ministry standard attendance codes. Absence for holidays during term time is classified as unjustified.

SICKNESS

In the unfortunate situation where a child vomits at school, we strongly recommend that the child is picked up from school at the parent’s earliest convenience. We require the child to remain absent from school for 24-48 hours, depending on what the sickness is. If the cause of the sickness is because of a migraine, anxiety, or travel sickness, the school will respond to this on a case-by-case situation.

BUS

If you are collecting your child from school, you must notify the office before 2pm to allow enough time for us to update bus lists. Failure to communicate this often slows down the release of buses in the afternoon.

SIGN IN AND OUT

In case of an emergency, and for health and safety reasons, we need to know who is on the school grounds. Please report to the office if you are picking up your child early, arriving late, or if they have been at an appointment and have returned to school.

UNIFORM ITEMS

We have uniform items that are available to purchase through our school office. Sun hat $20.00

Polo shirt $35.00

Hoody $65.00

Jacket $60.00

PARKING

For the safety of everyone, please cross the road at the road crossing by the bus turning bay. Do not walk across the road on blind corner. We encourage families to park at the Hall and walk up the path to school. Please use common sense and refrain from parking across the driveways of our neighbours. Please do not park in the staff car park.
