The good practice around attendance and punctuality starts at primary school.

Given the requirements of Level 1 and sick children staying away, our average attendance of 93% is fantastic.  This is above the national average so - ka rawe (awesome)!

However there are a number of children that slip below 90% attendance.  Those families will be receiving a note/email shortly

If your child is absent you must notify the school.  The best way is the SchoolApp on your phone.

• Child's name
• Room number or teacher
• Reason for the absence

The reasons for absence can be many and varied so the Ministry of Education provide us with a list of codes that we must use.  If you do not notify the school of a reason it defaults to TRUANT.

The graph from our SMS - Student Management System shows all absences across the week days. - it seems Mondayitis might be contagious. Mondays are extremely important for teachers as this day is used to ‘set the week up’.
